From the first article:
Social Security will still exist after 2035, according to the report. But without congressional action, retirees will only receive 83% of their full benefits.
Insolvent doesn’t mean it goes away, it means reduced payment.
Please don’t attack my intellect without comprehending your own sources.
The only way money is running out is if people stop paying into the system altogether. As long as people pay into SS there is money to distribute.
If we just uncapped social security contributions this wouldn’t be an issue. This is a manufactured crisis to convince people that socialism doesn’t work and we should go back to barbarism.
The only reason SS wouldn’t pay out is if you don’t qualify or it is repealed (or they break the operations so it doesn’t work). It will be there when you retire at a reduced rate. If we uncapped the SS contributions the that problem goes away.
I was all for Social Security when I knew one day I’d be able to partake in it too, but with everything going on, fuck that and give me my money back.
Mission accomplished. SS is one of the most successful government programs and we can’t have that!
So Ilhan Omar is wrong? They both can’t be right. The author made a good point that AOC voted differently in the past, was AOC wrong then?
We didn’t know about cointelpro and other clandestine operations until civilians broke into the FBI office and stole files. We won’t see the Epstein list unless something similar happens.
Normal people who aren’t pedophiles will comment on the facial features and say something like “she has her mom’s nose”.
Expanding the city council representation seems to be the key here. Candidates with 25% + 1 votes along with rank choice voting make the cut.
If they throw the MAGA base a Clinton they might forgive Trump for being a pedo.
The point is that being a consumer of AI is not seizing the means of production. If you’re not spending millions of dollars training and operating the AI to actually own it, the power you have is on lease and the terms can change at anytime without regard to your needs or wishes.
AI isn’t your pal, it is not the cure for isolation under capitalism. It is also not free to run unless you are the product.
Frankly this take that AI will lead to a communist revolution if people embrace the technology reads more like Vulgar Marxism. You’re not seizing the means of production by being a consumer of a technology. And training a communist aligned LLM is a dubious value proposition.
I mean he is good looking. Does he have a boyfriend already?
Only if we keep disciplining them. Which is why it is important to say this is a good thing but keeping their current leadership is a bad thing, both in regards to accountability.
To be fair, they both have that ham faced look.
Dude wasn’t talking about you
So the former lawyer to the president is that official. Sends a pretty clear message of what is being asked…
He was willing until his donors told him it would be bad for them as well.
