My Mom’s about to hit the age where she can withdraw Social Security. She was originally planning on waiting until she was 70, but decided to start withdrawing ASAP since she no longer trusts the service will available in the years to come.
> In his memo to field offices this week, Evangelista wrote that “this year, we’ve received more retirement claims than in any prior year.” […] a senior official at the agency noted there is another key reason: “People thinking that SSA is going to collapse because of what’s going on [in] the government,” especially with DOGE-led overhauls and cuts.
Between this and the other federal layoffs, it’s pretty crazy how Musk has personally made the lives of my friends and family abjectly worse off. Thanks Trump. Thanks Musk. I definitely feel quite owned.
