Nothing would please me more than those gamblers-anonymous pension funds going straight to zero. I would actually pay higher taxes just to watch that shithouse burn. Bailouts need to end.

I am pretty sure they weren't going to share their profits with me had the ball landed on black. Screw them.

This is a new one. What do you think pensions are?

So your hot take is that retired government employees, union laborers and other beneficiaries of pensions deserve to have their contribution to the pension and their retirement income zero'd out just because you don't get some of the money?

Some people do think like this yes. See: people who want SS and Medicare burned to the ground because they’re already rich and don’t need it.
