SS payment for fourth week already pending!

So my bank is showing the deposit as pending. No need to panic which is what I think the bastards (The powers that should never be, but sadly are) want. When we operate from fear or paranoia, they have us right where they want us.

However if they are bamboozling you, it's an entirely different story.

3. Aren't they always pending until the date they're supposed to be issued?

For instance, if my payment is to be paid on the 24th, and it arrives on the 22nd, it shows up in my account as ""pending" , meaning I can't access that money. On the 24th it is no longer pending and is available.

will memo-post on Tuesday and show it as "available". So every Tuesday before the 2nd Wednesday is when I get to look at it for a few minutes before I start shipping most of it off to everyone else.

In by nine, out by five. Talk about bankers' hours.

5. Yes. We should all live by the wisdom of Mark Twain and what he said about worry . . .

"I am an old man," he wrote in his final years, "and have known many troubles, most of which never happened."

We mustn’t let fear of what could happen paralyze and keep us from doing what we must do today.

Let tomorrow take care of itself. For as Solomon advised, "Sufficient unto the day are the troubles therein."

So let us fight the troubles before us and resolve to deal with future troubles as they occur.

6. My guess is that thousands of people on SS don't get their checks each month

for various reasons. Maybe even some DUers. So why should we automatically attribute missing checks to Musk? Has anybody here yet have a missing SS check because of Musk and Doge? It does seem a little paranoid for DUers to be posting and asking each month if everyone has received their SS check without some proof that it's out of the ordinary.

I was called out by someone who took it personal and said their fears were legitimate
