Summary
Former Social Security Commissioner Martin O’Malley warns that staffing and funding cuts under Elon Musk could cause Social Security payments to halt within 30 to 90 days.
The SSA is reducing its workforce and closing offices, prompting concerns from Democrats, who accuse the Trump administration of trying to dismantle the program.
O’Malley predicts a major political backlash if payments are interrupted.
Meanwhile, leadership changes at SSA have added further instability, with no confirmed commissioner in place.

In other terms, it’s not cost effective to sell the guns in order to buy food.
As an American I hate to say it but enjoy this nightmare that we’re about to endure do the stupidity of the dumbest of the dumb. I don’t want to see it I don’t wish it on anyone but every single one of these stupid fucks who voted for this deserves exactly what they get and it’s going to be horrible
Kick ass, I hope you’re right.
At first I wanted to say “nah, you need to be 65+ these days” but you know what? That just means the boomers (who proportionately voted for Trump less than Gen X) have nothing to lose.
People on disability under 64 also get social security.
