I made an app called Solar Monitor for Tesla that displays Tesla solar production using Widgets on Android, and tiles and complications on Wear OS (Android Watches). It can also combine multiple sites into one production curve. Check it out!

@NaMeiYa0818 @DemocracyDIDN @OneManWar @elonmusk Yes, hence the need for population growth

[Andrew @TraverseMT]

Do you honestly believe the government held your social security and Medicare payments and responsibly invested them, waiting for you to retire? The government is 39 Trillion in debt. The balance in the account is negative. My social security and Medicare taxes are immediately paid out for someone else, and the amount that can't be paid by taxes is financed by adding to the debt.

My point is not that people don't deserve to receive their retirement, it is that the retirement system will be very strained if there fewer workers in the future and more retirees.

[Andrew @TraverseMT]

Look the only point I was making was that if the population declines retirees are in trouble. It will be my generation (Millennials) who are in the most trouble. I'm not blaming boomers for anything. I'm just saying we need people to pay for social security. This thread started on a post asking why population decline is a problem.

@Jmstalk @OneManWar @elonmusk You obviously deserve to get your investment back but the reality is that there are no funds in the fund. Dollars are immediately paid out. It's a big IOU funded by government debt and current workers.

@diceboxman @OneManWar @elonmusk Someone else's retirement

[Andrew @TraverseMT]

@Jmstalk @OneManWar @elonmusk So current retirees are living off the current workforce in other words

[Andrew @TraverseMT]

@Jmstalk @OneManWar @elonmusk That's how the system was designed. But the reality is that every dollar working Americans pay into social security almost immediately gets paid out to a retiree.

[Andrew @TraverseMT]

@ElLizitski @OneManWar @elonmusk Sure, confiscate his entire net worth. Congrats. You funded social security for less than a year.

[Andrew @TraverseMT]

@ElLizitski @OneManWar @elonmusk What does this even mean?

[Andrew @TraverseMT]

@OneManWar @elonmusk It would not be as big of a problem if all retirees could pay for their own retirement and healthcare. Plus, in many countries, retirement is predicated on continued growth of investments, which requires increased consumption.

[Andrew @TraverseMT]

@elonmusk Maybe, just maybe, women are finding it a bit difficult to balance the expectation that they have successful careers while also birthing 2+ children.

@mikepat711 Elon about to use that inflated SpaceX valuation to pay a premium price for Tesla shares as part of a takeover.

[Andrew @TraverseMT]

@LeviHoliday4 No. They just retired their luxury models.

@AIDRIVR Dude just posted a cool video of a Waymo avoiding an accident. Take it easy!

@amuse As long as he does not try and use the headrest, yes.

@JeebsTX So, if everyone agrees with you, it won't sell and they will lower the price.
