Who’s getting pensions in government? I thought they were all 401k now.

I don't know of any federal government 401k; everyone gets a "pension", it's called FERS (Federal Employees' Retirement System)

There’s a government program that is similar to a 401k, called the Thrift Savings Plan.

It doesn’t cover as many as you may expect.
