Yep.
Rep. Larson: “By requiring seniors and disabled Americans to enroll online or in person at the same field offices they are trying to close, rather than over the phone, Trump and Musk are trying to create chaos and inefficiencies so they can privatize the system.”

US public's reading level.
Let that sink in.
We will have to pay someone to invest our money and hopefully make enough to live on that month
The cost will be prohibitive as SS has very little over head
on paper they show receipts of wasted $ found. where's that $ or paper now?
We'll see how this goes.
Trying to sign up online was a nightmare.
There are about 69 million that will effect, and if the cuts are deep there will be many folks who will be homeless in about 3 years.. I am one of them who will fight like hell.
Fewer beneficiaries is exactly Elon’s & Trump’s plan for “efficiency” - while the massive camps & “freedom cities” they are planning to build have nothing to do with deportations (they’ve shown they can deport quickly w/o camps).
Seniors, people without internet or transportation means, the homeless, (so many vets), those who are unable to protect themselves.
...creating desperation and driving down wages so "Manufacturing can come back to America"
(Creating Poverty has always been behind Republican attempts to kill SS and other safety nets)
Their plan to loot the system
(And THEN they'll privatize Social Security.)
Don’t understand that thinking. They have all of our information already.
Know any unscrupulous oligarchs?
Their plan to eliminate beneficiaries through attrition & death is all part of their plan for “efficiency”
People, if you know any Seniors who aren't able to navigate the online system, & don't have family that can help, please offer your help.
In times like this, we must step up our humanity.
They want to destroy us with inhumane actions; let's fight back with humanity!
It would suck if so many people went to protest Orange Turd in your turf
Or bring out signs that say "F*ck Trump"
That would just be soooo sad 🤷♀️🚨
Fewer beneficiaries is absolutely Elon’s plan to make it “more efficient”.
Government’s programs are not set to make profits and shouldn’t.
Have enrollment sessions on the 2nd floor in a building with no elevator
Screens out the 'bad risk'
that crew, to ascertain if they actually “work” for us. They sure look like they work for Russia and are doing all they can to destroy our country.

I imagine that their privatization efforts will involve investments in crypto - to their benefit, while facilitating the unaccountable looting of the accumulated contributions of all Americans!
Where is the evidence of fraud? Nada.
Right is wrong & wrong is right and the common good is bad!
THEY WANT TO PRIVATIZE, or PROFITIZE, or CORPORATIZE OUR NATION
and make our government of the people,
A GOVERNMENT OF THE CORPORATIONS!
#GOPisaWMD
That was the old Republican idea.
The Broligarchs, who see themselves as immortal trans-human god-kings, want those gov't agencies gone completely, so the "unfit" people they serve DIE & become extinct.
We need more pushback on the right wing propagandists!
Get the word out everywhere to everyone…even TikTok!!

Do you know someone personally who you could try to convince to vote otherwise?
Until this question is answered, the rest of us are stuck in this political two-step dance we find ourselves locked into.
NO, that is not the purpose of the change. They have found no fraud. This is to hurt people, period. I hate irresponsible journalism.
They tried this Argentina ( Milei) and abject poverty went from ~ 42% to ~ 55% many seniors lost all benefits
Where are my Senators and Reps--why are you not yelling about this!!
And Republicans are 100% OK with that.
This is what MAGA voted for - to kill American seniors!
"If you created a Social Security username more than 3 years ago, you will need to transition to a new or existing https://Login.gov account or use an https://ID.me account to have continuous access to our online services." https://www.ssa.gov/myaccount/
I think this activates a whole segment of the population. Many of whom have a lot of free time on their hands, and experience fighting for their rights.
To say nothing of the people this will directly kill.

"Retiree advocates warn that the change will negatively impact older Americans in rural areas, including those with disabilities, mobility limitations, those who live far from SSA offices and have limited internet access."

Restoring the 🇺🇸 to some semblance of normal is going to be a huge undertaking.
In the meantime, listen to Timothy Snyder…Do not obey in advance!!!
Push back with everything you have 🇺🇸. I would like to come visit again one day ❤️

The only entitlement I know are the government contracts, for someone that could be here illegally.
This is the only accountability in their future
the affected will sue and the new n improved social security office will stretch out the lawsuits so as to make sure all those suing die before their suit is heard. Argentina, man. Argentina.
You have to make an appointment which on the phone lines are announced as being available a minimum of one month after the the time of the call.
Disability claims require 230 days for processing.
