    Shouldn’t it at least be (potential yearly wage*50 + potential pension) adjusted for inflation?

    My shitty napkin calculations puts that at about 750k, which still isn’t a lot, but a helluva lot more than he actually got.

    $7.5 * 40h * 45weeks * 50years = lost wages = 675k Wages * 0.1 = pension = 67.5k
