    If the cons don’t fuck it up (and they want to do that), you absolutely would collect. And any “shortfall” would be easily remedied by lifting that regressive cap on it.

    I’ve been hearing all of my life that it won’t be there when I retire. And the way the cons are gunning for it, I now do doubt I’ll collect. But if it wasn’t for people trying to ACTIVELY destroy it, it would be just fine.

      Hey I’ve done my best, voted for the not cons, voted in my local elections. I’m heavily outnumbered here in FL. I’ve just lost all faith in this country. Honestly prefer it to see it burn now so the people that voted for this shit get punished before they die and leave it purely on our shoulders.

        Hey, believe me, I understand the sentiment. We are all quite worn down. I just wouldn’t give up on humanity or the country. That’s what the fascists want.

        Don’t give them that power.
