Better hope the 2021 model year Chevy HyperNova sells well so you can go fishing too...
There's another thread where I went through exhaustive detail to point out that GM is currently funding pension requirements for all retired AND CURRENT employees, based on current financial standards for actuarial estimates. I'd prefer not to go through that again, so if anybody remembers the thread, please post a link to it.

Peace,
