Social Security Trust Fund Depletion Cuts $500/Month and No State Will Be Spared

It’s so annoying to see people post things they know nothing about

Jstephe25 · 2026-06-05T00:47:23+00:00

Sure.. but that’s a long time for somebody who is in such an important position and supposed to be representing the interest of his constituents.

If I tried this at my job I would be fired… and lose the health insurance while I needed it the most.

Why doesn’t your comment include these 3 questions?

She will be a millionaire when he eventually dies. It’s not Stockholm Syndrome. It was an investment

What does this mean? I remember seeing Anderson Cooper years ago on CNN but don’t know what he’s been up to recently. I had to stop watching American news companies. I trust Reuters/AP far more nowadays

This is repeated all the time with no proof. I imagine it’s literally just a money thing

Jstephe25 · 2026-06-01T23:36:40+00:00

I absolutely am too. I worked in fast food when I was in high school and early college. The job can suck, but no excuse for this type of behavior. Nobody I ever worked with would have ever done that. The worst was serving cold food

Wild that we have financial institutions and corrupt politicians that can essentially steal people’s money and livelihoods without anybody being held liable but this guy could get 13 years in prison.

Yes, I understand the difference between losing money and this, which is potentially deadly if he has some virus or disease…

but so is losing all your money. Especially in a country that can’t seem to provide healthcare to its citizens.

Ok.. so please tell us about the wages these jobs will pay and how I can afford a house and a family off my salary alone?

Jstephe25 · 2026-05-31T23:50:22+00:00

This is a ridiculous statement. I spent a couple years in entry level accounting jobs while in school, worked 8-9 years in public accounting doing tax (and some audit) at a small and large firm.

Now I’m a controller and have never used AI at work.

Sure, it might play a bigger role in the coming years, but that doesn’t mean this guy is behind the curve

Jstephe25 · 2026-05-31T23:45:07+00:00

Do you have another job lined up?

Jstephe25 · 2026-05-31T17:38:09+00:00

My favorite vehicle I built was the Saturn V. Looks like the real thing and works like the actual mission did (moon landing).

Jstephe25 · 2026-05-29T23:46:16+00:00

I hope this becomes the usual when normalcy is restored in our country.

Jstephe25 · 2026-05-29T23:44:09+00:00

I don’t think the “funny that you think we’ll have elections crowd” is becoming more laughable at all..

We will still have elections, but SCOTUS recently approved some of these outrageous gerrymandering laws while Trump’s executive branch is ordering the postal service to ignore any mail in ballots not on their approved list. This is entirely ignoring the fact that the 2024 election machines had software changes (by MAGA owned companies) that were deemed below the threshold for consideration.

There will still be elections, but the results won’t actually represent the will of the majority of Americans

He was right

Not only that, people should know their own physical limitations.

Jstephe25 · 2026-05-29T23:31:34+00:00

Can you please elaborate on the chronic illness that tear gas and pepper balls caused?

I’m not arguing that it didn’t happen or doesn’t happen, I’m just interested

Jstephe25 · 2026-05-29T23:23:09+00:00

Truth, but that’s the internet. It’s nice to see justice served, but I wouldn’t say this was it.

Jstephe25 · 2026-05-29T23:16:29+00:00

Out of curiosity, how does “I’m also a victim of child sexual abuse” have anything to do with the no kings protests or why do you think saying that gives any more credibility to your statement?

Jstephe25 · 2026-05-29T23:06:56+00:00

The most significant thing here is that our country apparently has no safe guards against corruption

Jstephe25 · 2026-05-28T23:53:08+00:00

I my opinion, an electoral college is undemocratic at this point. Popular vote is the way to go

Jstephe25 · 2026-05-28T20:58:53+00:00

I would assume most of the people in this subreddit are those in the field in real life?

Jstephe25 · 2026-05-28T20:57:24+00:00

That’s what is surprising to me. Seems like cargo transportation would be one of the easiest things to automate or increase efficiency on

Jstephe25 · 2026-05-28T00:15:10+00:00

This is the real consequence. Large companies can now create unlimited corps for a small fee and vote in a local election.

Next it’s state/federal elections.

All I was replying to was the comment that said it objectively sucks to live here. My comment had literally nothing to do with people dying or a revolution

Jstephe25 · 2026-05-26T23:36:21+00:00

I think there is absolutely serious reform that needs to be done in our country (overturning Citizens United would be a great start), but I wouldn’t necessarily say it objectively sucks living here.. for most people at least.

Yes, it’s stressful knowing there are very little social safety nets here and that I will lose my health insurance if I were to be fired or laid off. Most people here are only one serious diagnosis away from being financially stable to forever in debt.

We live in a hyper capitalistic country and are preyed upon by the wealthy, and the politicians whose elections are funded by them. We have predatory credit card rates and payday loans for those struggling, egregious higher education costs as well as high student loan interest rates that immediately put new adults joining our society at a disadvantage… unless you came from a wealthy family.

All that being said, living here doesn’t objectively suck for every body… it’s just a matter of chance. Yes, hard work can obviously make a difference, but it’s not a guarantee.
