Unfortunately I don't know enough about it to offer an opinion on this specific case. I only know it will pay only part of the promised benefits. But from other pension plans I've seen, this happens because the plan is undercapita

You can, batteries are just super expensive right now. So a trade-in program (like it exists for BBQ gas tank, or the SodaStream pressured gas) doesn't make a lot of economic sense for the partner taking on the risk of getting a bad ba
