You really should widen your consumption of news / information.
The Social Security computer system is built on the old Cobol code. That is really old and simply doesn't function like newer ways of coding computers. The numbers you see that clearly are not representative of a live human age are because of the OLD Coding, NOT because of some conspiracy to steal for SS.
Some of the people represented in those numbers are no longer receiving SS and haven't since they died, but their info is still in the system.
Take the time to actually learn what is happening before passing around incorrect information. It is what is causing all the divide in this nation. It is so unnecessary and certainly harmful to the nation and ALL the people in it.
Here are a few different news sources that are NOT self serving information shared on Social Media.

https://www.cnn.com/2025/02/18/politics/trump-musk-social-security-payments-what-matters/index.html
This is just a little tidbit of information you might find interesting.

I'm sorry you feel so limited. I get it not trusting what some have been calling legacy media, I respect that. I personally try to get my info from a mix of places to obtain news so it is more rounded. But when you limit yourself to one source, you lose out from getting a broader form of real information. If all you trust is X, that is your right but you will find over time that what I said was and is correct on this subject of SS. Still I respect your position on getting your news.

What you stated above is a common statement made by legacy media. The YT video link personifies your thinking and exactly what you wrote. "You will know them by their fruit"
YT Short Misinformation a danger to democracy
IDK, It is what I've said for a long time. Maybe they copied me.
You know NOTHING about me or how I process anything. Now I was respectful to you and said I respect your outlook on how and where to get your news. Why can't you respect that my point of view is different.
We don't have to agree, but we should respect each others rights to believe differently. I do, how about you?
" For example, last week or so, you posted on how children worldwide were going to starve because of USAID being shutdown. You posted that because you watched CNN or MSNBC which had been airing this exact information non-stop. You clearly believed USAID was US-AID, lol. When it's in fact an agency that dealt in subversion, fraud, DEI agenda, etc."
You have me confused with someone else as I never posted anything like what you said I did. I've NEVER said what news channels I watch in ANY post on ANY thread.
More is being made out of what, in more current years, is called DEI, we use to call it equal opportunity employment / employer.

Absolutely NOT in what you said I've said. As I told you in my previous post. I never said any of that in your post 66. Those are NOT facts. I never said any of that anywhere in the Community.
Your crystal ball full of "Ifs" and a myriad of other non specific garble other said this
"I suspect that if this happens, USPS will be profitable in 2 years, and service may or may not be inferior depending on how few existing USPS workers are left in the company."
History says this
Me say this old proverb is applicable to this post >>>>> "If wishes were horses beggars would ride.
Oh I contacted my "Sprital Advisor" before I wrote my reply
