Fact check: true

I don't like calling people "garbage bins" but yep!

Primary characteristics of a Ponzi scheme are that they are a system in which people place their money, and as more people place their money into the system, the value of that investment is supposed to provide a reasonable return. So long as more people are entering the system than leaving by cashing out, all is well, but once you have fewer people enrolling into the system, it will start to collapse (like Social Security seems to be in danger of doing). The major difference between Social Security and most Ponzi schemes is that I don't think it promises massive returns on investment like most Ponzi schemes do, but it otherwise functions pretty similarly.

Sure buddy

This is what I get for trying to talk about politics on Lemmy comment sections (again!), I really need to stop feeding the trolls man

I hate it when the government keeps fidgeting and fiddling with stats like this and unemployment rates to make their economies look better than they actually are

"doing things to make it harder to get SS" is not the same as trying to kick the elderly off of the plan, which is something the GOP has repeatedly opposed

yeahhhhhhhh that's the type of response I expected

Why were they at the office?

Where are the calls to kick elderly people off of Social Security then? Can you think of any off the top of your head?
