This bullshit is scare p0rn. No. THEIR parents, the greatest generation that didn’t have 401ks and crappy pensions were on fixed income. That’s not the same for their kids/boomers.
If you think Social Security is a scam, you likely have parents who are financially secure. If your parents rely on Social Security, you’re probably very grateful for it. 75% of seniors on SS rely on it for half or all of their income. There are even children getting benefits as well as disabled individuals. It’s a very important program that needs to be adjusted, but still provided.

In an age dominated by technology, in which efficiency and profit often take precedence, it is so important that we continue to cultivate a spirit of contemplation and allow time and space for beauty. Such an attitude will greatly help humanity, especially young people, to discover the ability of art to uplift and reveal the depths of the human spirit and our openness to the divine. Contemplation presents a marvelous opportunity to encounter the God who is Beauty.

Yeah you should probably pick up gardening.
We’re releasing a broad range of new mathematical results produced by an internal frontier model. We’ve been consulting with the independent Advisory Group on Mathematics and Artificial Intelligence at the Institute for Advanced Study, and we have drawn on their advice and public recommendations to inform how we release these results. github.com/openai/math

You know why the government switched to TSP, @FmrRepMTG it’s because —for example—my boomer dad served over 20 years in the Navy. He’s collected more years on his pension than he served. He also has a pension from State Department. AND he has a former 401k when he worked for Booz Allen. That’s why. Pulling out more years on a pension than put in. That’s why it changed to TSP and phased in a decade ago. We know. A SEAL asked him for his advice. He told him take the pension.

This is stupid. It’s the equivalent of a 401k in private sector. It’s not a government handouts or entitlement. No we don’t want a TSP either.
The debate between young generations and older generations over Social Security needs to be defined by the fact that the government screwed everyone, all generations, by creating a poor system with low return to begin with and then making decisions that lead it to bankruptcy. We are taxed 6.2% our entire working lives for SS, with your employer matching it, and 12.4% of you are self employed. And the payout is pitiful and the entire system will be bankrupt in 2032! Every Member of Congress and Senator knows that there are much better ways because they all benefit from a TSP account with massive ROIs leading to potential millions of dollars in their accounts, if they invest, after years of holding public office. No this is not the federal pension. This is the federal Thrift Savings Plan for all federal employees and military service members. If every American had a TSP account, they would be far better off! It takes 218 Members of Congress to pass anything on the House floor, one alone can’t do anything. Imagine if at least 218 Congressmen decided to fix SS and give the American people the same TSP accounts and pension federal workers receive. Now ask yourself why they don’t. Being mad at each other is aiming your anger and frustration in the wrong direction. Everyone should unite and aim your anger and frustrations at the very people responsible, the ones you elect, and hold them accountable.

Taxation is theft. And when someone mismanages their money and makes poor decisions in their life they can find one of the endless grifting alleged charities to help them.

Cool. You get exactly back what you have put into it. No COLA. No adjustments. Subtract what you’ve already taken from what you put into it.
Replying to @FmrRepMTG
Problem is what you do to bridge the gap. Can’t have people who paid into it for 5-40 yrs get nothing.

Stealing from young families to pay much higher net worth Boomers is immoral and ridiculous. Young families already have to deal with an economy where everything is exponentially more expensive than it was for Boomers at the same age. Older people clamoring to raise taxes on the young, on top of it all, is just perverse.
89% percent of baby boomers back higher taxes on younger Americans as a means to protect their Social Security benefits. 84% of those aged 55 to 64 also support tax hikes on young Americans who, on average, suffer an inferior quality of life to their parents. This is from a 2025 Cato Institute poll. Follow: @AFpost

It’s great that Tallahassee has surrendered to New York real estate developers. Including our current governor. Instead of rooting for whatever stupid team you are on maybe ask both candidates for governor if either will have the balls to veto this garbage if it’s passed.
New story and 🧵: The New York investors behind a bill in Florida that would let giant landowners develop their properties with little local oversight are pouring tens of thousands of dollars into legislative elections around the state...

Gen X is currently stuck in the brutal vice grip of the "Sandwich Generation," and it’s completely reshaping their priorities. You’re 49. Your kids are 17 and about to leave the nest forever. At the exact same time, your parents are 79 and rapidly losing their memory, mobility, and independence. You sit in a sterile conference room on a Thursday listening to a 32-year-old consultant talk about "cross-functional synergy," and you realize you have maybe five good summers left with your parents and six months before your teenager moves out. The idea of trading another 50 hours a week to chase a "Senior Vice President" title stops sounding prestigious and starts sounding like an absolute tragedy. Gen X isn't burning out because they're tired of working. They’re opting out because they finally calculated the real cost of being absent.

We needed to find a way to the hide the riskiest data center bonds so we packaged them into a CMBS and refuse to tell you who the tenants are. They’re all dog shit. $ORCL $CRWV $NBIS $IREN
Well it officially happened. Data Centers are now being packaged into CMBS. Seven in the case. All tenants are confidential. Most fraudulent debt market in history. The portfolio is 100% occupied by four confidential investment-grade-rated tenants and three small network carrier tenants, with a weighted average remaining lease term (WARLT) of 12.9 years as of September 2026. Confidential Tenant 1, a confidential high investment-grade-rated cloud, IT services and content and digital media tenant, fully occupies three properties (PHX2DC2, PHX2DC3 and DFW1DC4), comprising 40.8% of critical IT load and 42.6% of Fitch base rent across the portfolio. Confidential Tenant 2, a confidential high investment-grade-rated cloud, IT services and content and digital media tenant, fully occupies two properties (RIC2DC3 and RIC2DC5), comprising 28.4% of critical IT load and 25.9% of Fitch base rent. Confidential Tenant 3, a confidential high investment-grade-rated cloud, IT services and content and digital media tenant, leases 36 MW of capacity at ASH2DC2 and comprises 14.2% of critical IT load and 16.6% of Fitch base rent. Confidential Tenant 4, a confidential investment-grade-rated cloud, IT services and content and digital media tenant, leases 42 MW of capacity at PHX2DC5 and comprises 16.6% of critical IT load and 14.8% of Fitch base rent. Average in-place rents across the portfolio are 23.0% below the appraiser's weighted average (WA) concluded market rent of $119.08 per kW/month. $ORCL $CRWV $NBIS

Poached for Profit More than 26,000 pounds of illegally harvested reef fish, $178,107 in illegal sales, and FIVE sea turtles harvested and sold to undercover investigators. These are some of the findings of Operation Stolen Waters – Poached for Profit – a four-year FWC investigation into an organized illegal commercial fishing ring operating in the Gulf of America. Our investigators found that the subjects repeatedly illegally harvested and sold commercial quantities of reef fish – mostly red snapper and gag grouper – outside of the legal Individual Fishing Quota (IFQ) catch-share reporting system. Using nighttime offloads, private residences, and on-the-water transfers, the subjects went to great lengths to evade law enforcement and cheat the system. Three of the subjects even harvested protected marine sea turtles on multiple occasions, selling three adults and two hatchlings to undercover FWC investigators! All marine sea turtles are protected; it is illegal to take, possess, or harass them. Thankfully, our investigators released the sea turtles unharmed. This investigation resulted in 10 subjects facing several felony charges, including Racketeering, Conspiracy to Commit Racketeering, Unlawful possession or sale of Marine Turtles, Unlawful Use of a two-way communication device, and Cheating. The actions of this criminal organization negatively impacted the fishery, the industry, and all Floridians. Thank you to our investigators, analysts, partner agencies, and @AGJamesUthmeier's OAG Office of the Statewide Prosecution for their tireless work and dedication in bringing these poaching fraudsters to justice.

ā€œWe’re not rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic, we’re putting coal in the boiler and setting a course for the iceberg.ā€ I said the so-called Big Beautiful Bill would increase the deficit, exacerbate inflation, and increase the price we pay to finance our debt. I was right.
