    The agency is at the lowest levels in terms of staffing since the 1950s. The Trump admin has stopped allowing applicants to apply over the phone and forcing them to apply at a local office. At the same the admin is closing offices all throughout the country. Hundreads of thousands of poor seniors will die because of the new changes that were not needed. The admin is making the agency so ineffective that it hopes public opinion will turn on the agency thus making it easier to eliminate.


    Oligarchs stealing from the old and poor to give themselves tax cuts. The oligarchs have brainwashed the boomers with culture war garbage while stealing from them to make themselves richer.

    You heard it here first. Every senior who dies going forward will be due to Trump and SS.

    The social security office estimates 30k people die every year due to delay in payments to seniors. Its just a fact



    The wait time to get an appointment at the Houston office is now 3 months. Theyve laid off tens of thousands employees and staffing levels are at a 50 year low.

    Tens of thousands of seniors will die to these cuts.

    The DOGE crime gang should be in jail - these are state level crimes they are committing. They need to be indicted

    Some people voted for this but half the dipshits who voted for Trump thought he was only going to send lawless thugs to lock up somebody else's Tio Junior ,

    that he was going to lower grocery prices & send out stimulus checks.

    That things would just be, great again, whatever that means to the beholder

    I'm sad to say that if Trump 2 actually spent his time golfing and doing medium corruption and had the same team of normie henchmen he had during Trump 1, he'd probably ride off into the sunset mildly rehabilitated

    Instead he declared himself king & is doing a coup that enabled the dumbest & most corrupt & compromised people in America to utterly destroy the country and trash centuries of work & trillions of dollars of value - all for ****ing nothing

    Just tremendous awful national suicide - **** these people

    This is incompetent leadership. How do you cut down to the same level of staffing as you had when the country had 190 million less people?

    Bcz the point of the cuts is to make it so ineffective people turn on the program. The goal isn't to make it better. Its to destroy it

    You do know this is exactly how Elon Musk thinks?

    You're old and not working? Drain on society.
    Reliant on Social Security (no, you may not ask about my $$$ government handouts) because you're not a billionaire like me?
    Wait, you're white-challenged?

    I am happy to see that you are dismissive of all deaths that Trump and his cabal of idiots cause ... but the liberal tears will be flowing for all of the preventable deaths ... and isn't that what is really important?

    Is there a difference between not sending seniors their SS checks and not taxing SS benefits? Seniors aren't paying taxes in either case ... FTW!!!

    We should cull anyone who calls themselves tech geniuses and can't pass a AP calculus exam. Those people actually seem like the most useless people in society.

    Bye-bye Elon and Peter Theil. Bye bye Sam Altman. Bye Bye Space Ghost.

    Great job dumb DOGE mother****ers - guess letting kids like Bigballs, the Russian cyber criminal, and Marko "normalize Indian hate " destroy the SSA software code base had - a predictable result!

    Its not a bug, its a feature.

    Exactly what they want. Now in addition to saying its going broke (as they've engineered), they can say it is a horrible unresponsive government machine that doesn't work anyway (because they made it that way) and so MUST be eliminated.

    We've finally intellectually regressed to the point that Trump can put on some big show about anexing The Maldives to distract everyone and people won't have the attention span available to put two and two together.
