Well, tomorrow is the day I'm SUPPOSED to get my SS payment. Anyone else sick at their stomach wondering if it will come [View all]

I've never even had to THINK about it.
Now, I'm worried sick, I've even had to get a prescription for anti-depressant from my doctor, which I haven't needed since 2021, when guess who was the preznint.

And here's the kicker, I still work 7 days a week, at age 73, and I have to pay INTO SS, while at the same time being taxed on the SS I receive. But I have to keep working as long as I can because I can't begin spending my life savings until there is just no other way to exist.
My rent on my semi-ghetto apartment in Los Angeles already takes my ENTIRE SS payment every month, but that has let me dial down my work load for my health, I have a dangerous and anxiety producing job. But thank God I can still work and be my own boss.

If they stop SS payments, I can at least go for maybe 3 years max, but then it's straight to pushing a shopping cart and sleeping on a sidewalk, absolutely no other scenario.
BUT, I will be better off than millions and millions of other people, many of whom will soon be under eviction notices, having their car repossessed, and maybe the most important, have no money to pay their cellphone bill or lose internet access, at which point, in this day and age, they will be totally cut off from any possibility of finding help, or finding a way to GET TO where the help is.

Sorry for rambling, but
WHAT IS THE POINT OF ALL THIS?

Yes, I know they want us to die, but aren't landlords basically MAGA? Thousands and thousands of empty dwellings are going to cost them tons of money AND drive down rental prices, no?
And what, 73 million Americans or so are on SS, so are all the MAGA businessmen willing to lose, conservatively, 50 million customers???

Let's hope at least THIS MONTH'S payment arrives tomorrow for those of us born between the 1st and the 10th of our birth month.
