seriously

is toward that end.

That won't stop them. In fact, that is what may be intended. Then they swoop in and buy up assets at fire sale prices.

if there is ANYTHING that may wake up people out of their fucking cult, that may be it

It’s mentioned in your link but I saw it on video about 10 times yesterday. It also points out Lutnick paid $25 million cash for his latest house. He’s not even on the same planet as we peons. None of them are.

Boy are they reading the room wrong.

Uses every cent for living expenses. Yeah, she has savings, but would burn it up in two years if SS went away.

right now are not happy campers.

Because stealing our retirements will create a very motivated 71 million person Rambo army. There is no place on earth they'll be able to hide without a walker or a cane being crammed up their asses.

Those I see daily can barely scrape enough money for their monthly medications and skimp on food. So, do they staple their stomachs somehow so that they can eat less? Many already halve the medications prescribed for them--much to their detriment.

So, please tell me how to tell these people/patients/acquaintances to "prepare." I am at a total loss.

Of people here and elsewhere assuring me how they simply will never do this, and I’m trying to get those of us who could react in one way or another to wake the fuck up to the fact that they are going to do this and soon.

Having said that yes you are right, they are counting on most of us doing really nothing, losing our homes and then as one other person here said the vulture fucks will buy our homes at $.20 on the dollar.

the point. They are DEFINITELY intent on stealing our money and closing down the entire system. Our Dem Congresspeople know. But if any here are represented by R's you need to get every single person you know to call, snail-mail, and show up at their local offices. DEMAND they act and act NOW.

I really do not want to give voice to what is going to happen if we don't, but it won't end with foreclosures and devastated families. We will see morbidity and all-cause mortality rates skyrocket like we have never seen in peacetime. And yes, that includes death from hopelessness--something that the elderly patients I see are already experiencing.

As a party, republicans have wanted to destroy Social Security since it was created. I think there must be some special GOP prize for the one who actually does it. Maybe that person will go to Republican Heaven (a special place in hell). If trump can destroy SS or privatize it (same thing) he will go down as the Greatest and Grandest republican president ever and probably the last one, too.

they seem to be doing anything they want

He'll be all technical about the reasons they can't end it and i say they seem to be doing everything they want w no one stopping them

this kind of stuff SHOULDN'T be happening and WOULDN'T be happening if repukes, and some Dems, DID THEIR JOBS

I am going to get a taste of freedom. I DON'T CARE...they aren't taking that.

That's my money and I'm not eating cat food because someone STEALS it from me.

The employer funds are part of an employee's total compensation package.

I want it all NOW with the compounded interest. One TAX-FREE payment on demand.

Yeah, I know they won't do that, but if they're going to kill the program, they might as well refund everything all at once, preferably extracting a good bit from the billionaires.

Mass uprising and a riot in DC that would make J6 look like a garden party.

If you can physically and financially do it, you should be thinking about joining us. We will go and represent all of those that can't make it.

What I am trying to figure out is we know they don’t give a shit about protest, we know they will use the military to shoot us dead in the streets, so how do we do it is my question?

My cousin and I were just discussing on our daily walk how many in the military will be willing to shoot protesters and my estimate is half, the leadership has already been replaced with people who will not say no when the piece of shit orders them to shoot protesters.

You need to understand that going in.

further than D C . every state needs to be represented.

The grass roots ad hoc town halls that are happening across the country makes me think that can happen.

I don't know how it will play out.

It’s part of the long-time Republican strategy to hamstring government by making it unreliable and unfair. It’s designed to cause more mistrust of government programs. They are setting up privatization as a “better solution”. So when the private system (i.e. market) fails, as it often does, you can only blame yourself for your bad investment choices.

competent. I have seen some privatizations happen and the results were another word that starts with "c"-clusterfucks. They hire the worst of the public sector people for less pay and benefits. The best and brightest go elsewhere. I understand the strategy and the lies they will tell. It will be a hard sell.

within a couple months millions will become homeless, and the disappearance of billions of dollars from the economy will be a mega disaster. And what happens to the money already in the system?

Viva la revolution

I think Plan 2025 includes increased use of the Insurrection Act (ironic). Trump is already asking the Supreme Court for special help to squash court actions. They are approaching the Rubicon.

the same basic idea currently in process of transitioning Original Medicare participants to Medicare Advantage plans (although this is now optional, it may quite likely soon become mandatory). But we shall see.....

Yes, they will damage and degrade SS, then offer privatization to "save" it.

They’re just gonna take it all and not a goddamn thing we’ll be able to do about it other than, well that’s for another day 🤬

have a mother or grandmother who lives on SS.

communication skills is preparing to bring us together for mass protests and good trouble if and when this happens. I am not on any social media but am more than ready to participated. We need to set up mass disruption in every state every county hopefully within 50 miles of each other so as many as possible can attend. We will need to hit the streets in mass. If they want a fight we have to give it to them.

We have to do it. They have no power. It's up to us. If not now when?

50501 has protests planned for April 5th. Join them!
