The new law, signed this month by Gov. Bob Ferguson, terminates the overfunded pension account at the end of June 2029. It would then reinstate the fund, leaving 110% of what the state expects to owe its members. As of June 2024, the fund was 160% funded. By 2029, it's expected to reach more than 200%. This move is expected to sweep nearly $4 billion from the Law Enforcement Officers' and Firefighters' System Plan 1, or LEOFF 1, with that surplus put into a separate pot where it could potentially cover general state expenses. read more

Politico saw this happening in 2022 ... called them Lumpers..
On one side (of the two sides of the left) are people who believe in what can be thought of as a unified field theory of political and social change.
The lumpers see American society in need of a sustained and comprehensive overhaul, and are wary of people, even potential allies, who don't share this synoptic worldview. A core assumption is a commitment to "intersectionality" " the concept that contemporary power arrangements reflect historic and overlapping patterns of discrimination on grounds of race, class and gender and that progress on specific issues must include challenging the underlying power structure.

What if the mother is from CA, and can't read your paperwork?
Is it guaranteed that the baby will die? Or are you by rejecting her guaranteeing the baby's death?
This whole process is just an extension of your abortion support, I suppose.
Though it's her baby, her choice? Or once the baby is out of the womb, so long as DEAD you don't care, but if its alive well then we must throw the kitchen sink at it?
When exactly does the State have the right to intervene? Seems strange one minute Snoofy, you have no issue with murdering the baby, and then next you insist on it having a vaccine or you'd throw the mother in the streets for the baby to die.
Seems consistent with whimsical emotional policy making of a murderer.
