Ya'll should get off Rmoney. If ANYONE knows "retroactive retirement", it's him. Because if you

were employed at one of the companies he and/or Bain (already murky, dang it) bought with his junk bonds you may well have found YOURSELF "retired" from a job you had no intention of leaving. It may well have been the last job you were ever able to work. "Retroactively retired", one might realize.

His surrogate on the TV explained that "he ultimately didn't go back, so he found himself "retroactively retired".

Mi$$, that's exactly what happened to hundreds, if not thousands, of people whose jobs or livelihood (think closed up auto parts stores, cafes, theaters, police, fire...) depended on those companies you (and/or Bain, feel free to use your Etch-a-Sketch) bought up with junk bonds, loaded up with debt, profited from, then filed bankruptcy on.

So, you like "retroactively retiring" people as much as you like firing people?
