MSN: Corporations save billions as Americans die younger  ~ hehe "nothing" is EVER ..."related" ...yea right ?

Americans are dying younger despite our previous improvements in American life expectancy. For companies who pay out on pensions this could be good news: If people don’t end up living as long as they were projected to just a few years ago, employers won’t have to pay them as much in pension and other lifelong retirement benefits.1
RELATED ARTICLE: Due to the slight rise in the mortality rate, at least 12 large companies have reduced their estimates for how much they could owe retirees by a combined $9.7 billion. For instance, Lockheed Martin adjusted their “estimated retirement obligations”2 down by a total of around $1.6 billion for 2015 and 2016.
Mortality trends are only a small piece of the calculation companies make when estimating what they’ll owe retirees and the fact that people are dying slightly younger won’t cure corporate America’s pension problems but the simple fact that companies are taking it into account shows just how serious this problem is.

“Actuaries use two main factors to project death rates into the future: They start with current mortality levels—the percentages of people who die at a given age—and then make predictions about how those percentages might change with developments such as new medical treatments or changes to smoking or obesity rates. For instance, the widespread prescribing of cholesterol-lowering statins in the 1990s was “a huge driver of mortality improvement,” says Eric Keener, senior partner and chief actuary at Aon’s U.S. retirement practice. If medical science produces new treatments for Alzheimer’s disease or cancer, they could have similar effects.”3
Death rates for Americans over the age of 50 have improved, on average, by 1 percent each year since 1950:4
  • 2000 to 2009 saw annual improvements of 1.5 to 2 percent
  • However, from 2010 to 2014, death rates were only improving by about half a percent each year.
And so, in 2014, the Society of Actuaries updated their baseline mortality tables for the first time since 2000, reflecting the significant gains in life expectancies that had been seen through 2008. That led many companies to revise their estimates of pension obligations upward. But, those assumptions were far too optimistic. about how fast death rates would keep improving.
“Updates in the last two years, based on more recent mortality data, have pulled down companies’ estimates of what they’ll owe future retirees. The 2016 update would lower pension obligations by about 1.5 percent to 2 percent, all else being equal, according to the Society of Actuaries . (The group draws on data from the Social Security Administration, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.)”note]MSN.[/note]
And pension obligations could get lower still because accurate death records take a long time for the government to compile. The most recent estimates published in 2016 only had mortality data through 2014. The picture for 2015 looks bleaker still.

But this trend isn’t unique to the U.S.: Canada and Britain have experienced similar slowing gains since 2011. Joseph Lu, chair of the Institute’s mortality research committee wrote, “These signs should be taken as warnings that worsened health care, behavior and environment can reverse decades of success in health and longevity.” Changes in life expectancy in the U.K. could cut 310 billion pounds from British private-sector pension obligations.
What no one seems to be able to answer is whether the slowdown is a short-term one or more permanent.

THE ULTIMATE WARDROBE MALFUNCTION CHARLOTTESVILLE ACTOR WEARING BARCELONA T SHIRT

Posted by Conspiracy Cafe on August 19, 2017      ~ hehe  Oops ?


There is a very unique picture on the BBC today. An activist at the Charlottesville riots is wearing a Barcelona Football Club T shirt. It is quite the irony since Barcelona was the next step on the world stage for the fake news. Was it a clue? Was it arranged? Did the actor get his wardrobe mixed up? What are the odds? The chap at Charlottesville has turned his head away from the camera. He has a very unique bit of facial hair on his chin. Another man recently in the news does as well. He is Moussa Oukabir the Barcelona terrorist. It is a strange co-incidence to be sure. It may be called predictive programming. It may be the same company that supplied protesters in Charlottesville does overseas work as well. That's L.A. based company Crowds on Demand. There are more things in heaven and earth Horatio.

Putin: ‘Pope Francis Is Not A Man Of God’     ~hehe wanna know Y the western "elites" can't fucking STAND this guy(PUTIN) ...he's calling OUT all "these" ...fucking FRAUDS  & AH oh yea ...peds   LOL man of God   ...hows bout that "god" wit an S on the back of his ...uni ? Image result for satan pic

Putin has slammed Pope Francis for “pushing a political ideology instead of running a church”, and warned that the pope is not a "man of God."
President Putin has slammed Pope Francis for “pushing a political ideology instead of running a church”, and warned that the leader of the Catholic Church “is not a man of God.”
Pope Francis is using his platform to push a dangerous far-left political ideology on vulnerable people around the world, people who trust him because of his position,” Putin said.
If you look at what he (the Pope) says it’s clear that he is not a man of God. At least not the Christian God. Not the God of the Bible,” Putin said at the Naval Cathedral of St. Nicholas in Kronstadt.
“He dreams of a world government and a global communist system of repression.
“As we have seen before in communist states, this system is not compatible with Christianity.

The pope has become increasingly brazen this year in pushing the globalist agenda and far-left talking points upon the masses. Earlier this year he called for a global central bank and financial authority, and more recently he said Americans need to be ruled by a world government as soon as possible for their own good.”
Pope Francis’s idea that Americans would be better off under a world government doesn’t stop there. The radical leftist pontiff also went on record stating that Europe should become one country under one government.
He is also on record calling for a China-style one child policy for Western nations, as well as telling a congregation in Rome that having a personal relationship with Jesus is “dangerous and harmful.”
While Putin is a practicing Christian, he is not a Roman Catholic, and the pope is not his leader. According to his recent statements, President Putin does not even consider Pope Francis to be Christian.
The Russian president is rarely openly critical of foreign leaders, instead preferring to use diplomacy to win people over to his side. However notorious globalists including George Soros, Jacob Rothschild and Bill Gates have received tongue lashings before, and now Pope Francis has joined their company.
Pope Francis is trying to lay the groundwork for a global communist government. President Putin is wise to his ruse and has called him out on it. It’s time for more world leaders to tell the pope to stay in his own lane.
