Disability Retirement for Federal Employees: Means to an end

Posted onApril 21, 2017December 25, 2021AuthorFederal Disability Retirement AttorneyLeave a comment

There is a difference, with a real distinction, between utilizing a process as a means to an end, as opposed to using people for the same purpose. Such a concept should be a “given” – that logical posit which is unquestionably true, without the likelihood of being controverted, and generally accepted as a foundational principle in a caring society and community. Yet, modernity has contravened such a belief, and truth and falsity have become relative concepts on the pendulum of linguistic elasticity […] Read More …

We can scoff at it; deny it; attempt to defy its residual consequences; and even remain indifferent to its effects; but in the end, mortality demands a say in the matter, and age is like the ravages of time and the echoes of a haunting flaw […] Read More …

Then, of course, there is a wide chasm in the spectrum of what it means to leave things to chance, in contradistinction to “pure” chance.
