Right. Not welfare. But to be clear the system relies on many people never getting any or all of their money back! They are not IRA accounts. Like if you die before claiming, move abroad and can't use Medicare, etc. etc. etc. Heck if they wanted to be really fair which they don't they would let demographic groups with lower life expectancies claim earlier..

Biden falls off bike in Delaware, but is ‘fine’
Jingthing replied to onthedarkside's topic in World News
You're obviously asking way too much of the Let's Go B brigade. -
I totally agree that people getting unusually large SS checks don't need relief but for weird political reasons I don't see means testing ever being applied to this program. The reason is this SS is not a welfare program. The level of benefit us directly tied to a person's pay in. As inevitably the income cap for SS payroll taxes get higher and higher, to limit what higher income people get in benefits except for a maximum check level would be political poison.

Dept Issues Serious Warning on Cannabis Use
Jingthing replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News Headlines
As with anything some people will abuse it. Kids will be using it in Thailand. In moderation no biggie but done regularly really not good at all. https://www.cdc.gov/marijuana/health-effects/teens.html I am happy about the de facto legalization. Overall it's very positive news in many ways. Also it's great for Thailand's international branding image. But still there will be downsides. -

They do. Normal for midterms but yes this will likely be extra bad. So what's your point? I get that you hate Biden. You can vote him out if he runs again which he probably won't. That isn't enough? -

He does stumble sometimes. He's not as sharp as he was 20 years ago. The voters knew all that when the was elected with an overwhelming popular vote margin and a very healthy electoral one as well. I don't remember any of this kind of nasty whining when we had Reagan who had Alzheimers for about his last two years in office. -

If he runs again, he and his opponent's health will be legitimate issues. At this point, he's the president. -

Biden is an avid cyclist going back many years. He's fit for his age. It's actual exercise unlike golf. -

When you're the president you can't fart without making news.
