According to this Reddit thread you can cancel online but you must first chat with an agent. That's the Sirius XM I know. This thread is a year old. Maybe they have changed their ways but I'm skeptical. Consider me the Apostle T

You do not understand how this all works. Social Security "spending" does not add to the deficit. It is not the source of any budgetary imbalances or of any structural budgetary issues in the United States. It is a pension syst

I didn’t say it was a majority. I said it was the largest expense. Plurality vs. majority. You are absolutely wrong in your belief. Defense spending is roughly 50% of discretionary spending. https://www.cbo.gov/publicatio

If the Supreme's deem it so then it must be. Are there any decisions they've gotten wrong? Your benefit is based on what you pay in. It pays out less than what it takes in. If it were privatized you and the Supremes would call

Indeed! They've done a great job at muddying the waters. Otherwise knowledgeable people don't understand how this works.

Apparently you don't understand how pensions work. Take a 401(k). Under normal circumstances what you take out of the 401(k) far exceeds what you put into it. This is what happens with investments generally speaking. Saying, "S

They call it mandatory spending but this is a misnomer. When you pay into a pension system and pre-pay for insurance it’s expected that you receive the benefits you paid for. That it is government run is irrelevant to how it should be vie

You are wrong. From ssa.gov: The Social Security Retirement benefit is a monthly check that replaces part of your income when you reduce your hours or stop working altogether. Most people would refer to this as a “pension”. Call it what

If the government decided to make Social Security a private corporation it could. If it did this, keeping in place Social Security “taxes” that would then go to the new corporation, we would not consider Social Security a budget expense.

There are lots of examples of countries having much higher minimum wages without the consequences you mentioned.

Canceling subscriptions is so difficult to do the the U.S. that a federal agency has announced new regulations designed to make it easy.

Social Security is not an expense of the government. Well, for the most part. It’s a pension plan that people pay into. Similarly for Medicare. People pay into it before retirement. Then at a certain age they get this insurance benefit

I made the point I wished to make. Someone else made a point you wanted to hear. The two points were not quite the same. It will benefit you to find a way to accept that this occurs without getting into a tizzy.

Obviously you did not understand what I wrote. I clearly stated that sometimes it is as easy to cancel a service outside of using Apple as it is with using Apple. I followed up with a rhetorical question: “Why take the risk?”

By signing up through Apple you are guaranteed to have an easy way to cancel. With many subscription services it is very difficult to cancel. Sometimes a service you can sign up for using Apple is easy to cancel even if you sign up outsid

One should not memorize in mathematics at the college level. If you understand you don’t need to memorize anything. The memorization that should occur is when you remember certain facts because you’ve done enough problems that your brain

That's why this has to be mandated by the Higher Learning Commission or the federal Department of Education.

Since the state no longer properly funds higher education there has been a shift in attitude. We are now a business and the client is the student. This has negative long term consequences. One of them is that I pretend to give real tests

There is much less homework these days than in, say, the 1980’s. This is true across all levels of education.

…don't think there needs to be drastic changes, just some small things that allow the education and curriculum to become more engaging. I think the vast majority of people who say and think this haven’t taught in the classroom much.

That’s the Higher Learning Commission’s job. Partly their job. The HLC is a joke and an expensive farce.
