Trump & Co. may not kill social security, but they will figure out how to nibble away at the edges. Case in point: IRMMA. Only 7% of people in Medicare pay this (according to AI models), but most people I ask have never heard of it. It’s basically a progressive tax with multiple brackets.

I’d like to see Elon Musk tossed out of this country. I know one person who owns a Tesla and I expect him to sell it. Or junk it.

I’ve figured it out. WOKE means rational, competent, caring, logical, intelligent, courageous, respectful, and contributing to the common good. MAGA means irrational, selfish, illogical, ignorant, cowardly, insulting, and destructive of all that is of value.
