“Science”. Thanks for the laugh.

How the hell am I supposed to “get out of the way of faster moving traffic” when I’m moving with the traffic ahead of me in the passing lane and PASSING SOMEONE?

Thank you. :)

You pretty much nailed it.

And you’re the asshole jumping to conclusions that I’m sitting in the left lane for no reason.

Have you been practicing jumping to conclusions?

I’m talking about when I’m passing someone (and going with the flow of traffic in said passing lane) and some asshole comes up tailgating. I don’t have a lot of choice in terms of getting over “before it’s critical”

Rules of the road require me to move over when it is safe to do so. When I’m passing, it isn’t safe to move over when there’s a tailgating asshole swerving through traffic.

Dude - you’re jumping to wild conclusions.

Nope. Only breaking the law if it is safe for me to move to the right. I’m never in the passing lane except to pass, and will move over as soon as it is safe. It isn’t safe to move over with a tailgating asshole who will likely make a rapid move into the adjacent lane *before* it is even safe for me to move over.

And who says that isn’t what I’m doing?

Bunch of people jumping to conclusions.

Way to jump to conclusions.

I always drive in the right lane and move to the left only to pass. That’s what I’m talking about here. I’ve moved over to pass, am keeping up with traffic flow in that lane and the asshole is still tailgating.

Not illegal in any state.

I’m not trying to regulate ANYONE’S speed. I’m talking about when I am passing someone and some asshole is tailgating. I’m not going below the limit or even at the limit. I’m going with traffic. I don’t care if they want to go faster. Fine. But tailgating assholes are also the type that make irrational moves, cut…

No, I am not. I am perfectly allowed to use the passing lane to pass someone. I’m not sitting in the passing lane at ALL *unless* as I’m passing some asshole starts tailgating me. They’re likely to cut off the traffic on the right to fly around *before* it is even safe for me to move over.

You’re misreading things, dumbass.

Calm down, asshole.

I’m always in the right lane if I’m not passing. I’m talking about when I’m passing and some idiot decides to tailgate. I’m not getting over then because that isn’t safe when the tailgating asshole is likely to fly into the right lane as I’m moving over.

Don’t jump to conclusions. I don’t sit in the left lane. But when I’m passing and some asshole starts tailgating, I’m not about to change lanes when that asshole is most likely going to swerve into the adjacent lane, cut off that vehicle, all before it is even safe for me to move over. If I change lanes when it is…

In this case, absolutely. I’m passing and I’ll get over when it is safe to. I don’t sit in the left lane. But the idiot tailgating me is likely going to cut off the person in the right lane and floor it before it is even safe for me to get over. I’ll let them act like an idiot. If I get over the second I can safely,…

I agree with that. However, when I’m passing and some idiot is tailgating me, they can go around.

I generally don’t move over. I let them go around.

If someone is driving that recklessly by tailgating, my experience tells me changing lanes isn’t the safest as they often try to change lanes and fly around. Going steading in the lane is the safe way to go - let the idiot make the moves..

I agree.

Realistically, there’s no reason to expect, on average, you will do better with a 401k than a pension. The 401k will tie your future to market rates, and depending on the timing of your entry and exit into the labor market, this can work for or against you.

For example, starting work in the mid 60s was a…

Whether you’re self-employed or not, the employer side of social security is tax deductible. For the employer, it reduces their profits, and for the self-employed, the employer side (minus a hair, after a simple formula (hardly alchemy)) comes off on line 27, which means your tax bill is reduced for federal and state.

A…

That doesn’t solve the problem. It helps, but it doesn’t solve it.

It also creates a VERY dangerous precedent if you don’t allow benefits to climb at the same time (ie, if you don’t also remove the cap on benefits), as it takes a significant portion of the country that currently hits that limit but still values social…
