  • The problem is that Adam Ruins Everything is guilty of spreading more misinformation than it solves. (The Video Games episode is particularly embarrassing)

    It’s neat entertainment and it does expose some bullshit, but it aint perfect. And to its credit it does have a few “Times we were wrong” episodes

    Edit: Don’t know why the crowd is stereotypes of Liberals though, they’re not the ones on the Science Denial train unless they’re the “Betraying Transpeople will win us elections!” type






  • They made it so SSA takes 100% of your check for overpayment instead of just 10% to cover overpayments to “Get the money back quicker and punish overpayments” (Even though overpayment is usually an error made by SSA, not the recipient)

    It was 10% because leaving the applicant with enough money to survive is not only not cruel, it lowers the chances that the person will appeal and get one of those altruistic Pro-Bono Disability Lawyers involved (Many of whom are inspired to do so by being disabled and mistreated by the system themselves… met a few, all wonderful people)

    They will now be FLOODED in appeals, so many that many will likely be approved without examination due to lacking the resources to review them all and not wanting to get a disability lawyer involved to drain more time and energy from understaffed overworked offices

    What he’s done isn’t just cruel, it’s stupid and will have the opposite of the intended effect
