The crisis facing men is not the crisis of masculinity, it is the crisis of patriarchal masculinity. Until we make this distinction clear, men will continue to fear that any critique of patriarchy represents a threat. —author and activist bell hooks

If you get Social Security and end up overpaid, immediately call and request a waiver if it isn't your fault and recovery would cause you financial hardship. SSA has to consider waiving it in that case, especially if it isn't too big.

Also, SSA operates at ~1% overhead. Any MAGA Gooner who claims there's any more efficiency to be found is lying, stupid, or both.

If DOGE is a federal agency, it can’t shield its records from the public. If it’s not an agency, then its tens of millions of dollars in funding weren’t legally allocated and should be returned, some contend.

Elon musk is the richest man in the world, he could be funding hospitals, medical research and universities. He could be solving the climate crisis. He could be feeding, hungry children. Instead, he’s trying to make sure that your grandmother doesn’t get an extra dollar of Social Security.
