Trying to figure out whose error this was, Barnes, Johnson, or Salon:

The age has already been raised from 66 to 67 and hasn't been 65 in years.

Regardless, all attempts to raise the full retirement age are essentially a Social Security cut.

The data is skewed because of Covid-19

But with people living a lot longer raising the retirement age isn't necessarily a cut its offsetting the increase in life expectancy

And as far as I can tell, the 65-67 was phased in over 22 years, and over the time period of that phase in, the life expectancy grew greater than that age phase in

Apparently they’re not living ‘much longer’ as of late

It's a cut.

“This sounds quaint, and so I’m reluctant to say it, but, you know, I didn’t eat a grape until I was in my 20s. Like, literally, had never had a grape. I remember the first time I had a grape, I went, ‘Wow! This is quite tasty.’ It was absolutely ingrained so deeply in me: Never cross a picket line.  Now, teabaggin' Willie Brown?  That's another story.” - Kamala Harris

I love being called a Russian troll on Twitter because I dared to suggest the federal government do anything to help Jackson, MS.

Yeah but how were you dressed when you said it? Were you leading them on?

GQ did a feature piece on AOC and one particular group seems furious about it in the replies - can you guess who?

As much as you insist, it's hard to make that stick on someone who's generally right about most things.

For those of us who are vaccinated, not using recreational Fentanyl or committing suicide this doesn't sound like much of a problem

LOL

In other news, good to see Charlie Crist literally compare himself to Jesus Christ.
