Shouting ‘fire’ — or WEP or GPO — in a crowded theater
Many, if not most people, are familiar with the phrase “shouting fire in a crowded theater” — even if they might have trouble recalling who first said it (Justice Oliver Wendell Holms in a 1919 case before the Supreme Court) — and why.
The modern day equivalent of the panic-starter is to bring up the subject of the Government Pension Offset or Windfall Elimination Provision in any venue — theater, retirement community, house of worship — with a large number of retired federal or state government employees, or their spouses.
The initials may not mean much, if anything, to you, but ask your federal parents or grandparents, then watch their blood pressure go off the charts.
So what’s the big deal?
Tammy Flanagan will be my guest today on Your Turn. Meantime, for background, each has agreed to share answers and observations from someone seeking help and clarification from Social Security about WEP and GOP issues.
GPO and WEP: The other pandemics!
Proposals to eliminate WEP and GPO have been around almost since enactment in the 1980s. But repeal has always been the legislative equivalent of mission impossible — probably still is. But what about “reform” rather than repeal? Has the turmoil created by the COVID-19 pandemic changed the political outlook? In the House, 245 members have signed onto a bill that would repeal the Evil Twins.
Not likely to happen, but under House rules if that repeal proposal gets 290 cosponsors — 45 more — it has to come up for a vote. And that opens up the possibility of a modification, though not repeal of the two. Long shot, yes, but possible.
In the meantime, back to retirement plans for — someday.
My guests today on our Your Turn radio show includes benefits expert Tammy Flanagan. She talked about what you should be thinking regardless of your age or time in government so that when you want to/have to leave, you will have enough money to live on. Lots of boxes to check. She’ll explain what they are and why you should have a backup plan.
Later during the show we’re joined by Jessica Klement of the National Active and Retired Federal Employees association. NARFE has been one of the leading advocates of repeal/reform of GPO and WEP. She’ll explain what they do and give an update on what Congress might do.

#40 - När hemlighet blir dålig säkerhet
Att hålla något hemligt borde ju anses vara säkert. Eller? I dagens avsnitt djupdyker vi i begreppet Security by obscurity och varför just hemligheter, och att hitta på egenheter, kan vara riktigt dålig säkerhet.
Bygga säkerhet är ett svårt uppdrag. Man kan antingen göra en lösning som står emot hackare eller skapa något som man tycker är säkert eftersom ingen vet hur det faktiskt fungerar. Resultatet av det sistnämnda och konsekvenserna av det är dagens samtalsämne.
Dessutom minns Erik och Mattias gamla Nintendo, funderar på hur man gömmer en kamera som turist eller helt om man kan dölja ett olåst skåp bland 10 000 låsta.
Vi pratar om Owasp säkerhetsrekommendation i avsnittet och här är länken: https://www.owasp.org/index.php/Security_by_Design_Principles

SHIRONANIGANS! with Josh Keaton
SHIRONANIGANS! It's all about Shiro and it was named by the fans! We have a great time with Josh Keaton, talking about the evolution of Shiro through 4 seasons of Voltron Legendary Defender on Netflix, and then Josh answers tons of questions submitted by the fans, and at the end, Josh picks our Shironanigans Prize Pack winner! SHIRONANIGANS!
Josh Keaton, who has voiced Shiro, Sven, and Bi-Boh-Bi on Voltron Legendary Defender has joined us for a second time on Let's Voltron: The Official Voltron Podcast. And this time, it's to celebrate everything Shiro with a special podcast named by the fans, called SHIRONANIGANS!
Like Allurapalooza!, we wanted to honor Shiro, and what better way than to have our fellow Voltron fans submit name suggestions for this special podcast. We received over 1000 suggestions, and we narrowed them down to 4. Then, in a special poll on Twitter and Facebook, we had fans vote between Shironanigans, The Shiro Show, SuperShiroCelebrationSpaceDadStravaganza, and Shiromania!
Shironanigans! won the vote and two winners had chosen that name, Amy Rudberg and Riema Al-Khatib. Both of them are receiving Shironanigans Prize Packs, designed by the #1 Shiro fan herself, Zilla! (@beanyzilla)
In this podcast, we had many fans that sent in questions for Josh Keaton. At the end of our discussion with Josh, he picks his favorite question, which reveals another winner of a special Shironanigans Prize Pack, that includes a Legendary Black Lion, Basic Black Lion, Die-Cast Black Lion, and Shiro action figure, all from Playmates Toys, and a special certificate of ownership for Black Lion, signed by Shiro and Josh Keaton. *Certificate of ownership is not real and not sanctioned by DreamWorks Animation or WEP.
We want to congratulate Josh Keaton on reaching 50,000 followers on Twitter. If you would like to follow Space Dad, he's here: @joshkeaton
We are fast-approaching the end of 2017, which means we only have 2 podcast episodes left. Our next podcast will be our salute to Voltron Cosplay, with our Voltron Cosplay Artist Spotlight, which includes 3 special guests, who have appeared at conventions in various Voltron character cosplay.
Finally, our last podcast of the year will be our 4th Anniversary Show! That's right! Let's Voltron: The Official Voltron Podcast is now 4 years old, with 122 podcast episodes! We celebrate by bringing all of you on with us. Some sent in audio files, and some sent us notes that we'll read out to everyone. We may even have a couple extra fans on Skype with us! It will be a 4th Anniversary Celebration you don't want to miss!
As always, Thanks for Listening! Let's Voltron!!
