    I’m so tired of the uncertainty and chaos these guys are causing. I’ve spent weeks worried that they’ll shut down social security, and that I’ll lose my income. I feel like this won’t really be the end of that anxiety

      My father is in the same boat. His house is paid off and he has a small pension, but not survivable… I’m tempted to move back in to help him at this point.

        I live with my dad and he pays the mortgage with his SS. We are screwed without it.

      Yeah same. Huzzah for being a disabled basket case while the rich, narcissistic, sociopathic assholes in charge play Russian roulette with the lives of me, you, and 70 million other Americans.

      But please, do go on about “efficiency” some more while I try to remember why I go through this shit rather than just eating a bullet and getting it over with.

        I think they want us to take ourselves out, like Trump said yesterday that immigrants need to self deport

        I’m just preparing to be homeless again, like I was before I started receiving disabilitypayments

      If any good news comes out of this it would be 7million people having nothing to lose so they riot and take over the agencies. Couldn’t say I’d blame them. My parents are retired and living partially on SSI as well. There are a lot of boomers out there that this admin is about to flip from MAGA to give me my money back party and they’re loud.
