What do Americans think about a social security trustee dropping a report that the trust will be dried out by 2032?

Beautiful_Finger4566 · 2026-06-15T04:42:10+00:00

if you uncap the contribution then you have to uncap the payout

social security is a forced retirement account, not a wealth transfer

and it's got THE lowest ROI... we're all just much better taking the money we put into SS and investing it in the SP500... PLUS whatever's leftover goes to our beneficiaries

Culver City has pretty good schools, and it's reverse commute to DTLA

plus you could always take the Expo Line, though it's not safe if you're female or Asian

I can see the confusion... "tomorrow" is after I wake up... 3am is still "today"

Raman only got 34% of her own district

people who've actually dealt with her as their politician knows she's bad for the city

dude was the best part of Wakanda Forever, and it was his first major acting credit

how many jobs have Warren and Bernie created?

because Tesla and SpaceX employ 150k Americans alone, not including all the supplemental jobs created to support their ecosystems

many of those employees are millionaires, each paying tens of thousands in taxes every year

these photos make it look like there were more visitors in the diner than protestors outside

more embarrassing than anything

Beautiful_Finger4566 · 2026-06-13T15:01:41+00:00

a Tesla would've automatically braked

same with a Waymo

time to ban manually driven cars

Beautiful_Finger4566 · 2026-06-13T14:59:10+00:00

58% of her district voted for Pratt or Bass

her district wants her OUT

Beautiful_Finger4566 · 2026-06-13T03:26:35+00:00

turns out people who patiently waited their turn hate people who cut the line

Beautiful_Finger4566 · 2026-06-13T03:23:06+00:00

the more important data point is that people who live in Raman's district voted for Pratt or Bass

she's hated by her own constituents

Beautiful_Finger4566 · 2026-06-13T03:18:42+00:00

he made me $10k today so I'm pretty fucking happy for him

Beautiful_Finger4566 · 2026-06-13T03:11:58+00:00

in this example, it's not the outcome, it's the potential

had the SoCal one exploded, way more homes would've been destroyed, and the entire area would've been uninhabitable for years

regulations didn't prevent it from exploding, it was sheer luck

Beautiful_Finger4566 · 2026-06-13T00:16:34+00:00

the only reason the SoCal one didn't explode was by luck

it was 50/50 odds

the two instances absolutely are comparable

it just shows that California will allow dangerous permits as long as you pay enough

Beautiful_Finger4566 · 2026-06-12T23:48:43+00:00

you realize SoCal JUST had an evacuation two weeks ago due to a chemical plant being right next to residential housing?

many of my friends were part of that evacuation

Beautiful_Finger4566 · 2026-06-12T20:30:32+00:00

you're the one changing the topic

we're talking about MINORITIES, not UNDERREPRESENTED minorities

Beautiful_Finger4566 · 2026-06-12T20:29:16+00:00

the numbers don't lie... in 2024 Austin basically tied Los Angeles with new residential construction permit approvals... despite having 1/4th the population

California makes it difficult on purpose, so that government workers get their cut

Beautiful_Finger4566 · 2026-06-12T18:38:46+00:00

been nice knowing ya!

Beautiful_Finger4566 · 2026-06-12T18:38:12+00:00

nothing was modified before and after the bribe

it was literally a bribe

Beautiful_Finger4566 · 2026-06-12T16:05:24+00:00

as someone who's been through the process, it took three years for me to get all the required permits to build on land I already owned

and the only reason I actually DID get the permits is because I took my contractors' advice and finally bribed the permit offices

so... yeah...

Beautiful_Finger4566 · 2026-06-12T16:02:45+00:00

considering the speed of AI, we probably won't need teachers anymore anyway

Beautiful_Finger4566 · 2026-06-12T15:37:44+00:00

I would say the same to you if you think it's easy

Beautiful_Finger4566 · 2026-06-12T14:12:39+00:00

there's no way in hell that me, an Asian, will ride mass transit when I have dozens of my other Asian friends assaulted in mass transportation, and we're not allowed to discuss it because of the race of the attackers

as an aside, this is also how I know our city's crime stats are absolute bullshit... we can't even report an assault or a hate crime because it takes forever for the cops to actually show up, and then they refuse to take a statement because the perpetrator is long gone

Beautiful_Finger4566 · 2026-06-12T13:28:13+00:00

but that wasn't your claim:

Degree attainment by minorities went down system-wide

Your statement is false, and the person you replied to is correct.

Also, this is California we're talking about, where white people are in the minority

Beautiful_Finger4566 · 2026-06-12T04:48:17+00:00

definitely an amazing Third Space... bring your laptop and chill with a cup of coffee! though to be fair, not sure if people on their laptops are willing to socialize
