It had surpluses at one time.
Know what happened?
The Federal government does what it always does
screws it up
and even with that
Well it was a bad design to begin with.
It requires a constant increase in the amount of people paying in.
the human population is STILL in a better position than it has ever been in human history
...
Everything you say like that
Could have "But not for long" tacked on the end.
And that would make it 400% accurate.
because doomsaying hasn't been a thing forever?
A balloon stays in the air for a little while after you let go of the open end.
like how we would all die in the fires of nuclear war/
So, what is your solution to social security? Allow people to opt out? Stop paying out?
You call this doomsaying?
Motherfucker, this is deckcalling.
"HEY FUCKHEADS, ICEBERG."
"MOOOOOVE."
```So, what is your solution to social security?```
The solution to social security, is figuring out what the FUCK we're gonna do about automation.
And for that, we need people to start getting realistic about automation.
We need answers that I don't personally have.
Hmm, see to me that just seems like a different topic.
Why are the two related?
We keep pretending "new jobs will pop up like they always have"
--WHY?
Why would they?
This isn't replacing the horse, this is more.
This is replacing the THOUGHTS that guide the machinery.
Mechanization and Automation are two very different things.
And people look for the basest level of patterns and assume we'll adjust.
"Metal replace flesh. Me see turn out fine! No worry!"
...
Oh but my apologies. I've been *rude* as I've said all this.
That's everyone's free pass to gainsay.
Like I don't really have a point.
No one likes a meaniehead.
**EAT SHIT**
