Margaret, do not let that small house go, I pray it keeps you afloat. And don't even think SSA is going away. 20% of the US pop is receiving an SSA retirement benefit. I think my problem with the whole thing - not you but the dialogue we have been/are allowed to have about what's happening and what led to this - is that nobody can have an honest conversation about what happens with 40 years or regressive trickle down taxation - and now we're being told there's not 'enough' to go around and it's complete bullshit. I have a degree in polisci and development econ and it's just bullshit. There's plenty of food, there's plenty of resources - we just can't have a quarter of the population living like kings and letting people starve. And the US has a lot of this greedy grubby hoarding resources going on. It's a shame because this country also has so much going for it. When Andrew yang talked about a basic income people laughed at him. But if you listened to his freakonomics episode he explained the whole thing w/automations and predicted what's happening now. All of this was avoidable but we've been bamboozled by corporations and politicians telling us there's not enough and not everyone deserves to live but we can still have more with no consequences. It didn't have to be this way for us.
