Quote by Chris Christie

One state retiree, 49 years old, paid, over the course of his entire career, a total of $124,000 towards his retirement pension and health benefits. What will we pay him? $3.3 million in pension payments over his life and nearly $500,000 for health care benefits - a total of $3.8m on a $120,000 investment.

Summary

This quote highlights the significant gap between the amount a state retiree pays towards their retirement pension and health benefits versus the amount they receive in return. In this example, the retiree contributed $124,000 throughout their career, but they will ultimately receive a staggering $3.8 million in pension payments and health care benefits. This dramatic difference underscores the magnitude of financial burden placed on state systems and raises questions about the sustainability of these retirement plans.

It's hard to tell with these Internet startups if they're really interested in building companies or if they're just interested in the money. I can tell you, though: If they don't really want to build a company, they won't luck into it. That's because it's so hard that if you don't have a passion, you'll give up.

But when a man draws a lifeless thing into his passionate longing for dialogue, lending it independence and as it were a soul, then there may dawn in him the presentiment of a world-wide dialogue with the world-happening that steps up to him even in his environment, which consists partially of things. Or do you seriously think that the giving and taking of signs halts on the threshold of that business where an honest and open spirit is found?
