@brecktothefutur@Fwd_Party Until recently I too thought social security still had a big trust fund on paper. Alas, the amount in t-bills is a tiny buffer, only covering a year or two of payments. There is no significant savings, it's basically pay-as-you-go.
@jordugh I noticed chocolate mint flavored things always seem to be out of stock lately too... Apparently a fungus is affecting the peppermint crops in the US:

@atommiller @cvaldary I agree that money still needs to be incentive to work. But UBI doesn't need to be enough to live particularly well, just to scrape by. Also, the taxation model absolutely needs to support the entire UBI, similar to the way SS/medicare works. No money printing.
Hey guys. Maybe call them "posts" or "socials" rather than "truths"? Don't help them redefine truth. Please, don't let NewSpeak win. @esaagar@krystalball
@CapitalOne Hey I just noticed that when the banking app (both mobile & web) verifies your info, it doesn't verify your secondary email. People could have old info there which is a security risk.
@PolissaArt1983 @JonMunitz So if you won the $1200-a-month for life lottery, would you reject the winnings because it was taxable income that would affect your eligibility for some means-tested programs? Real question. $1200/month is above the current federal poverty line.
Thank you so much @SenWarren for your astute questioning of Chairman Powell today and illuminating the Fed's plan to "moderate demand" by raising prices even further. And Happy Birthday!
