The American Prospect, which first reported earlier this week that Acting SSA Commissioner Leland Dudek was weighing staff cuts of up to 50%
Congratulations protest non voters, this is what you voted for.
100% agree, and they need to never be allowed to forget this.
And blaming the voters still isn’t the energy you want.
FAFO
So you assume to know what others want? Because I’m right there with them. Non protest/non-voters absolutely helped to put us here. There is nothing at all wrong with pointing this out.
And as John Lydon would say: Anger is an energy.
And I believe that anger’s best use now is ensuring that the fucking assholes that did this are called out and learn from it so that if god-forbid we happen to find ourselves here again, they’ll acutely get off their assed and fucking help.
So, when Social Security gets gutted, we’re all getting the money we put in back, right? …right?!
Nope.
I want it back + interest.
Yes, of course! As long as you make at least $100M a year, all investments will be returned as tax breaks.
Billionaires: anything less than one hundred million is basically the same as zero to me.
Eh, that’s a tenth of their worth. It would be significant. But a million?
He’s a fun fact. A billionaire expends the same percentage of wealth with 500,000; as a normal worker does buying a 20 dollar meal at Burger King.
Every American should file for a refund of all the SS taxes they paid when they do their income taxes next year. With the gutting of the IRS on top of SS, they’ll probably accept those claims without question and accept those refunds.
Musk has been spouting how Social Security is a scam and how tariffs will make up for it. Basically, kiss your social security pension away and just hope a substitute pops up - although it will likely be in the form of “get a check if you don’t criticize us” now. DOGE is an excuse to Big Data everything from every department and process it through AI, including knowing your political association.
Hilarious.
“Social security is a scam” = “I’m taking your retirement money for myself”
“Tariffs will make up for it” = “As a bonus fuck you, 20% tax on everything you need to survive”
Buy the ticket, take the ride
