I have been on SS for 9 years and Medicare for 6. I am glad I planned financially for retirement by saving and investing. It would be very tough to live on just SS alone. Medicare has been OK but a decent supplement plan is very necessary.
Not sure if\when SS goes away how many people will be able to take care of themselves in retirement. To me too many people are "live for today" types.

Trump's payroll "tax cut" is only a deferral on the taxes, the taxes have to be paid next April.

Very interesting even if slow development in the world of election odds. The predicted electoral votes 334-204 have been steady over the last at least 14 days, but 14 days ago, the most risky states for D were all at least in 60+% probability victory ranges, while four R-states (GA,OH,IA,TX) were all in 50s. GA and IA even just barely (the lowest GA went was at 52%). The shift away from Republicans was quite uniform - even Arkansas became sub-90%!!
Fast forward to today: all those 4 red states are in 60s (TX even at 70+) - while the majority of blue states have been going down - AZ,FL,NC are now in 50s, and there is a very good chance NC may go back to red very soon.

9 positive cases and starting the week with two days of online classes. That’ll fix everything.At least two North Paulding High School students have been suspended after sharing images of a school hallway jammed with their mostly maskless peers, and the principal has warned other students against doing the same.
North Paulding High School in Dallas, Ga., about an hour’s drive from Atlanta, was thrust into the national spotlight this week when pictures and videos surfaced of its crowded interior on the first and second days of its first week back in session. The images, which showed a sea of teens clustered together with no face coverings, raised concerns over how the district is handling reopening schools during the novel coronavirus pandemic.
Facing a fierce online backlash, Paulding County Schools Superintendent Brian Otott told parents and guardians in a letter that the images “didn’t look good.” But he argued that they lacked context about the 2,000-plus student school, where masks are a “personal choice.”

Wow, Bill Gates comes out as criminally anti-Trump. These hysterical arguments would get destroyed on any message board. We've all seen accredited twitter accounts that have proven the US has done no worse than the rest of the world!

Don't be mad at the school for not providing safety protocols, be mad at the person who exposed it.One message said "I know where this girl lives," she said. Other threats included, "We're going to jump every girl named Hannah in the tenth grade," and, "Hannah is going to have a rough day at school on Monday,"

I figure he's better than Charlie Kirk, which is an actual argument I got into the other day when somebody defended Kirk as tell it like it is.I don't know why anyone pays attention to ****** bag.
It would also be way to easy to design that page and slip his email into the source code. As we've always said with Trump, there's enough despicable actions he does in plain sight, you don't have to fabricate or lie about stuff to generate outrage.

Shapiro is over the top but not nearly as bad as Charlie kirk.
And there's no way he created that page and used his own email either, honestly kinda surprised someone ITT believed it.

Did you guys see it was a lefty person that is actually trolling Ben Shapiro? Or are you just going to ignore that it wasn’t him behind the website?

Chicago unrest. Supposedly a 20 year old shot at the police and the police shot him. Rumors started that it was a kid and then it led to looting. Looting will show them!
