Summary
Former Social Security Commissioner Martin O’Malley warns that staffing and funding cuts under Elon Musk could cause Social Security payments to halt within 30 to 90 days.
The SSA is reducing its workforce and closing offices, prompting concerns from Democrats, who accuse the Trump administration of trying to dismantle the program.
O’Malley predicts a major political backlash if payments are interrupted.
Meanwhile, leadership changes at SSA have added further instability, with no confirmed commissioner in place.
You’re not a Republican? Why the celebratory let’s go then?
Have you not seen all the democrats here absolutely jerking off over the idea of Palestinians getting genocided even harder under Trump?
You mean the 2000s Republicans dressed in blue?
Yeah, liberals.
I would prefer that all republicans spontaneously combust. Or something more painful than that, whichever.
I am for the quickest possible path to what is the inevitable outcome: turmoil, suffering, and through that, change.
I too wish for change, and I recognize that turmoil, suffering may be part of the process. However, I am sorry for those that are victims, because losing empathy for the sake of change is not a healthy form of change.
I have sympathy for the kids in this and the non-abstainers, (edit: non-third-party voters,) non-trump-voters. The others, well, I couldn’t care less about their fate. But we must face reality: this ends with blood in the streets.
