Social security isn't a tax. It’s an insurance program and structured as such. We have to decide if there should be more national insurance programs. I’d be down.

I just started talking. Sorry you’re probably right.

Hey. Right wing here. People drive right, legally, and don’t hurt anyone.

I’m not right. But that’s the level of discourse. Got them civil rights?

Yo man, please use terms that we can understand or explain your terms

I don’t understand everything that you said, but as a devils advocate. Social Security is not supposed to be tax. It’s supposed to be an insurance program.

Curious what the downvotes mean. It’s really complicated. Lines get crossed. Where am I wrong? Too us centric?

Greater evil? One is being evil and the other is overly pragmatic.

Feds don’t normally print money. That would be the treasury and they don’t get to choose how much. The feds usually adjust interest rates by buying and selling treasury bonds that they don’t pay for, or I should say pay for with accounts they can adjust their balances as needed, including destroying “money”, to achieve the desired interest rate and slow or speed the economy. A point of interest is that the fed is not a part of the government and isn’t supposed to be influenced by it. I know it’s a lot easier to just say they or the government just print money but there is a lot of nuance. Anyway, that’s not really what the discussion is so have a great day!

Yeah, my dad was on a bivad 25 years ago for almost a year. Back then it was the size of a washing machine. By the end of his hospital stay they introduced the satchel kind with batteries.

Untraceable airplanes (sh.itjust.works)

Hi, I’ve just listened to about 10 aircraft go over my house. It’s not unusual that I have aircraft go over my house. I’ve sometimes even had fighters go over my house. I live in the most secure airspace in the United States (I’m not allowed to fly a $50 drone) and when I use apps to track what type of plane or helicopters are buzzing me, they never show up… they don’t show up on flight radar or adsbexchane even with government filters turned on where they used to intermittently show up. something just happened.

Gantt in linux (sh.itjust.works)
 

i’m planning a road trip and wanted to plan it out using a Gantt chart. I searched the repositories and did not find anything. Does anyone have any recommendations? (I actually am fun at parties)

 

I'd like more instrumental music. those are my two favorites. who should I listen to it those are your favorites too?

 

Last night, I watched ‘The Conners’ (it's on after Jeopardy here, and it's not so bad now that Barr is gone), and I can't stop thinking about it. Hopefully, you saw it, too, but it was bothersome. It started with a 90+ YO woman getting her identity stolen. Fair enough. Then, the family thought that debit would be their issue and staged an “intervention.” This is where I think TV needs to be more educational and should have explained that no, they were not going to “be left with a mountain of debt.” Instead, they find out she wasn't being defrauded and had made the purchases herself. Here is where it jumped the shark. This gave them the idea, from experience with Rosanne's death, that credit card debt usually gets wiped when someone dies. They go on a fraudulent spending spree, and near the end of the episode, they find out the credit company will investigate the issue.

I guess my point for the conversation is that there are so many tucking crazy loopholes in this episode it was almost anti-educational and pushed an agenda with no reason. I understand a lot of scripted shows are like this, such as Law and Order (except the original, sort of), but this seemed over the top.
