Musk is openly trying to break the entire Social Security apparatus, to liquidate it and try to privatize it. Can you imagine the meager pension you paid into now being owned and operated by an oligarch who can privately make & change the rules on a whim, pull you out of retirement? Trumpers, did you vote to have your own SS contributions stolen?

"Stocks slump yet again as fears grow about tariffs — and a recession"
Because #Trump is a #stablegenius....
Did anyone ever consider that the "stable" part might have to do with horse manure?
Maybe his minders on #wallstreet will reel him in? (Don't count on it...)

He recommends (and others have as well), that you log in to your Soc Sec account and download and/or print out your Earnings Record, and just about every other record you can.
This goes for people who are not yet retired - your earnings record is what your Soc Sec disability and retirement are based on. You want to catch any errors in that and have a record of that independent of the coupmasters. #USpol #Disability #Retirement

If you are disabled or retired or about to retire and use Social Security, I recommend you subscribe to this channel and keep up to date on things.
Not to be alarmed, but to know what the possibilities are so you can choose what actions you most think will work for you in these awful circumstances.

If you live an honest life, follow all the rules and work really hard, you too can be screwed out of an annuity you've paid into for half a century and then work until you're dead. #SocialSecurity #retirement

‘Prelude to #privatization:’ #SocialSecurity confirms #workforce reduction targets, continues to shutter offices. Despite most of the agency being exempt from deferred resignations and the government-wide #hiring #freeze, early #retirement and Voluntary #Separation Incentive Payments are now available to the entire agency workforce. https://www.govexec.com/workforce/2025/03/prelude-privatization-social-security-confirms-workforce-reduction-targets-continues-shutter-offices/403439/ No social security for all of us who paid into the system all our working lives. Where is the outcry or even any push back? Crickets
As part of #Musk’s govt-slashing crusade under #DOGE, last week the #SSA notified workers it would undergo “significant workforce reductions” as part of an “agency-wide organizational restructuring.” While one anonymous source in the agency told the AP that the agency could cut up to 50% of its workforce, SSA has denied this, saying that it had “set a staffing target of 50k, down from the current level of approximately 57k employees.”
O’Malley, a Democrat who served as governor of Maryland 2007–2015, said proposed reductions in funding & staffing from #ElonMusk’s #DOGE have already created #chaos at the #SSA.
>72.5 million Americans rely on #SocialSecurity for #benefits, with almost 90% of Americans over the age of 65 relying on the program.
Another horrible day in the market
This is madness.
...all because of tariffs.

In case you're of retirement age & have been thinking about taking up residence (at least part time) in another country, click the link below for a decent comparison of the options. The only thing not mentioned in the article is the pending termination of Spain's Golden Visa which is due to be terminated in just a month in April 2025.
I'm leaning towards Mexico or Costa Rica because their closer & because I already speak some Spanish which will make it easier to become fluent but, if I really want to get away, Thailand & Portugal are my other choices.
Between the later 2, I lean towards Portugal because the rest of Europe is so accessible & while I don't know how to speak any Portuguese, I'm sure I can learn it. Not so Thai or any other Southeast Asian language, despite the fact that I have a basic ability to speak Cantonese. Southeast Asia can also be unbearably hot & humid. Not so Portugal.
