General Discussion

I got to feel what it'll be like when my hubs fell for a scam and gave the scammers every penny in our bank account. We had no money for a month, the bills were coming in, there was very little food in the house, and we were basically living on the good intentions of friends. I never want to experience that again. As a young person with a little child, I hit hard patches... including one time when we lived in the car. But at nearly 70 for one of us and over 70 for the other, there's not a damned thing we can do to bring ourselves out of that kind of a situation, especially with me being disabled and hubby already having had 3 heart attacks. It scares me to death... literally.

I couldn't believe it when musk called SS a Ponzi scheme. Does he not know how insurance works? Or is he so rich he just pays cash if something breaks in his car, in his home, in his health, in his life? The r's have never accepted SS as a retirement insurance policy because it keeps them from taking the money and giving it to their rich donors. I wish more than anything both trump and musk could crash and burn bad... and maybe learn a thing or two from it. But that's not going to happen. People as evil as them just keep on keeping on. Heaven is closed to them, and Hell doesn't want them.

For the rest of us, it'll be so many early deaths it'll be reminiscent of the Morgue trucks in the early days of Covid.
