Yeah, Elon, when I retired I planned to keep working PT for 'fun money' or, more likely, unexpected expenses. We don't get rich on soc sec, dumbass.
Then I got cancer so that was out. And without Medicare & soc sec it would be lights out for me.

cottagedweller.bsky.social•3 hours ago

But I was lucky. I didn't face life-threatening illness until I had traded 'for profit', heartless 'health insurance' for Medicare. It isn't cheap and it sure isn't free, but it saved me from bankruptcy as I fought for my life. That is why I paid into it for 50 yrs, moron! It isn't YOUR money!

Greedy thin-skinned bully Nazi sympathizer Musk is lying. Social Security isn't a Ponzi scheme. The money that comes in doesn't all immediately go out. More is collected each year in Social Security taxes each year than goes out. We should remove the cap on contributions so the rich pay more.

@kenmartin.bsky.social Social Security doesn't get tax revenue, as Elon assumed. It's funded by your lifelong contributions that earned interest in an account before you retired; then the sums are paid out to you during the rest of your retirement life. You're just getting your own money back.

Social Security outflows DON"T exceed tax revenue. There is a surplus each year. Outflow exceeding inflow isn't expected to happen for 15 years or so. If the cap was lifted, that time would be even further down the road.

Rachel Maddow is polarizing, but her delivery is brilliant. Every point is sourced. No fake news reposted X posts by random bots. Use this method of countering Trump, but put up a person that is relatable. Buttigieg is perfect to me, but you likely know who you have that would also work. Now.
