this is how they kick everyone out, then make everyone verify themselves in person. with reduced staff and offices 


I  was thinking about it ... How, exactly, would somebody who's in, say, a nursing home or in a hardcore assisted living situation, get down to the social security office and wait there for, possibly, hours?

Well you see when these people and thousands (millions?) others stop receiving their checks, the administration will simply proclaim that to be a lie. Everyone who was supposed to get their benefits was paid, the others were fraudsters. And don't believe any reports from the lame stream liberal media. Whatever DOGE reports on X is the truth.

2 choices:

1. Pull themselves up by the bootstraps

2. Die

Always remember: the cruelty is the point.

Since my high school years, I've seen the shitty consequences of:
  • A stupid War on Gays. The older boyfriend of a good gay friend of mine commit suicide by pointing a pistol at his chest and firing, rather than have to face AIDS, while Good Ol' Ronnie pretended the AIDS quilt wasn't spread across the National Mall.
  • A stupid fucking War on Drugs.
  • A stupid fucking War on Welfare Queens.
  • A stupid fucking War on Terror.
  • Stupid fucking invasions to further our addiction to Middle Eastern oil.
  • Stupid fucking support for a small Apartheid nation-state oppress an entire people based solely on Biblical passages from 2,000 years ago.
  • Stupid fucking denial of Global Warming.
  • Stupid fucking tax cuts for billionaires.
  • Stupid fucking attack on people coming to this country to better their lives.
  • Stupid fucking court rulings allowing billionaires to buy our government.
Now, we get to see the stupid fucking consequences of putting a torch to everything.
Do you want me to go on? Everything I've seen since I started paying to all this shit around 1990 has been a prolonged four-decade mental health crisis among conservatives.


You forgot the stupid War on Education. I admit I have an oversized bias and personal connection to this one, but goddamn if that hasn't been a key part of all the other stupid Wars on _____.

War on Critical Thinking is probably more appropriate. That covers a lot of bullshit (CRT for example), but the fight is happening in education.

As the son of two public school teachers, that was a horrible oversight on my part. Thanks for mentioning it.

one of my aunts is in a home and she noticed who never has visitors. she makes sure they have a christmas and birthday gift from here

"I have a foreboding of an America in my children's or grandchildren's time - when the United States is a service and information economy; when nearly all the key manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues; when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and what's true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness."

--Carl Sagan 

I knew what this quote was within 4 words.  God damn if he isn't a soothsayer.  We are but specks of dust.

Goddamn.

I tried the best I could to interact with my parents' roommates when they were in nursing rehab, but it's hard when you're juggling more than you can. It's hard not to notice who doesn't get visitors.
