Maybe you should stop lying to your grandparents! But seriously, nobody was promised anything not dictated by statute. Who gives a shit about what you, specifically understood the statute to mean? By any reasonable understanding of the la

Again, social security is not a mortgage and is not even remotely comparable to one.

There is still no solid way to persist RSS feeds (...especially the content they actually refer to) to private storage. Any serious archiving service today will need to undertake snapshotting a website as it stands without relying on such

Yea, but that matters less than you think in this context as what I want (a bookmark service for bookmarks) matters a lot less than how the service is marketed and funded.

...is there a better reason to like webkit? Chromium certainly doesn't make effort to seem appealing to developers outside of its association with WebKit.

Ok, but you could say the same thing about people being paranoid about social security bankrupting "us", if "us" indeed has any meaning without a welfare state. Ignorance plagues all quarters of society.

Sure, but fewer (sic) features is mostly a better state of affairs, and apple devices are mostly what matter if you're catering to rich westerners (as most products on this forum try to do). To me, chromium only matters so much as I am

The surplus won't be solvent; the program itself is fine by definition. The entire concept of "social security solvency" is fear-mongering by people who want you to think of the entire country like a sack of gold rather than

Well, perhaps you're right. I am not a finance guy and it seems to me you can probably pull debt out of any kind of relationship if you squint right. But it certainly is not to blame for our inability to balance the budget, which seem

Maybe you're right. But then I'll be telling anyone who will listen that they're being sold up the river to finance the military and the wealthy against all reason.

Social security isn't analogous to a mortgage. It's a rolling payout to the current population.

Paying out 77% of benefits is not the same as running out of funds. You are still guaranteed payments while anyone in this country is making income.

Social security is funded with a social security tax. 6% of your paycheck is paid by you, 6% by your employer. (Or 12% by you if you are self-employed.)That by law can only go to fund social security and nothing else. Similarly, the fund is

No, the SURPLUS will run out. The fund will not.

How does that contradict anything I said? If you have issues with what it is, that's fine. But it still doesn't impact our deficit or ability to pay off debt.

Sure, practically I can also rob people at gunpoint.

Social security is self-funded. It has literally no impact on the deficit or our ability to pay off debt. By statute. Edit: i am flabbergasted at how low literacy is about how our government works.

Not all processes are the same, though. I strongly suspect any efficiency improvements will come in processes that didn't require much "thinking" to begin with. I use it daily, but mostly as a way to essentially type faster—I
