Does Japan / type-A not have grounded circuits?

Because individualizing violence won't change the system. When we set up our own courts and then use a 12 gauge to enforce, we're putting the elites on notice that there is a new sheriff in town.

Before that we need to create our own court system to pass judgement on these pedophiles.

Looks a lot like the computer from the recent movie Elio

If this is Walmart we're talking about then I sure as hell contributed to their success by subsidizing their underpaid employees with food stamps.

Don't know who needs to hear this but VPNs are allowed in China and can get around "censorship". In general you can still access information abroad but China is dedicated to having their mass-media not be inflammatory. You can talk about Uighurs on RedNote, but you can't level baseless accusations and expect those to stay up.

From the first article:

Social Security will still exist after 2035, according to the report. But without congressional action, retirees will only receive 83% of their full benefits.

Insolvent doesn't mean it goes away, it means reduced payment.

Please don't attack my intellect without comprehending your own sources.

The only way money is running out is if people stop paying into the system altogether. As long as people pay into SS there is money to distribute.

If we just uncapped social security contributions this wouldn't be an issue. This is a manufactured crisis to convince people that socialism doesn't work and we should go back to barbarism.

The only reason SS wouldn't pay out is if you don't qualify or it is repealed (or they break the operations so it doesn't work). It will be there when you retire at a reduced rate. If we uncapped the SS contributions the that problem goes away.

I was all for Social Security when I knew one day I’d be able to partake in it too, but with everything going on, fuck that and give me my money back.

Mission accomplished. SS is one of the most successful government programs and we can't have that!
