peteroxley.bsky.social @peteroxley.bsky.social · 10/04/2025I mean "maybe" it's just a cop out. I agree we should decry inaction 010
peteroxley.bsky.social @peteroxley.bsky.social · 10/04/2025Maybe. I know a lot of people who withheld their vote because Harris wasn't perfect for them in some way or another, and so instead we have the current dumpster fire. A lot of them still think that was the right choice, which I can't wrap my head around. I think "better" is preferable to "worse" 100
peteroxley.bsky.social @peteroxley.bsky.social · 10/04/2025I also hear a lot of talk about only supporting things that are perfect solutions and I think when we insist on all or nothing, we usually end up getting nothing 100
peteroxley.bsky.social @peteroxley.bsky.social · 10/04/2025Totally agree. Insisting on incremental changes when big improvements are possible is just an excuse to avoid change. And incremental changes arent really happening either, so, again, just an excuse 110
peteroxley.bsky.social @peteroxley.bsky.social · 09/04/2025Yes. *And* if we see an opportunity to make things incrementally better, we shouldn't pass up that opportunity simply because it doesn't get us all the way to where we want to be 100

peteroxley.bsky.social @peteroxley.bsky.social · 05/04/2025I think that there was a significant shift in attitudes for gen x.

peteroxley.bsky.social @peteroxley.bsky.social · 04/04/2025Pretty sure they fired the guy who does those calculations 000
peteroxley.bsky.social @peteroxley.bsky.social · 04/04/2025They can't reverse course now because it's too late to repair things, and their base would blame the now-inevitable fallout on the reversal instead of blaming the original idiotic decisions 000
peteroxley.bsky.social @peteroxley.bsky.social · 04/04/2025Most people my age have come to the conclusion that retirement will come with a casket, whether social security exists or not, and politicians seem intent on making sure it doesn't. So I think it comes down to choosing our battles 100
peteroxley.bsky.social @peteroxley.bsky.social · 04/04/2025... blame the fund for the expense of repayment - who is going to help us change any of that? the rich folks in congress who are authorizing the free loans? - at this point, we're not even really confident the US government will exist by the time we retire 100
peteroxley.bsky.social @peteroxley.bsky.social · 04/04/2025Why accept it? - It was never much more than a pittance and COL increases are far below inflation - we've been told since our first paycheck that the fund will be broke before we retire - any money the fund does have, congress will borrow with an IOU, and then... 100
peteroxley.bsky.social @peteroxley.bsky.social · 04/04/2025I think it may only apply to (and letters sent to) people who start receiving benefits after the out-of-money date. 100
peteroxley.bsky.social @peteroxley.bsky.social · 04/04/2025I dunno, maybe it was the letter social security sent out saying they were going to be upside down soon, but don't worry, they should be able to pay 3/4 of the already-less-than-you'd-need-to-survive benefit, for awhile, anyway. Kinda seemed like a death knell 100
peteroxley.bsky.social @peteroxley.bsky.social · 02/04/2025I think it's just that eggs are cheap protein and they go in a lot of different recipes. So for families that cook with a lot of eggs, significant changes to price and availability can be a big deal 110
