My oldest daughter was born in 1970, she died at age 37.

1970 pops 😁 I probably won't live long enough to get social security anyway... especially if they keep raising the eligibility ages. But my quarrel on the topic isn't about nor has been about 'me'... but everyone else who'll be getting screwed over in the future. Just like our current $40T of national debt and it's massive annual interest payments.

You were born after 1964?

A growing number of Republicans are expressing openness to raising taxes on higher earners to help shore up Social Security as it faces impending insolvency. It marks a notable departure from the GOP's long-standing opposition to tax increases, but lawmakers are dealing with mounting pressure to address Social Security's funding shortfall. According to the latest projections, the Social Security trust funds are expected to face depletion in the early 2030s, which could trigger automatic benefit reductions if Congress fails to act. “Reality is setting in, and retirees don’t want their benefits cut,” Kevin Thompson, the CEO of 9i Capital Group and the host of the 9innings podcast, told Newsweek. “So what does that mean? The working public will likely have to shoulder more of the burden at a time when many are already dealing with higher prices, education costs, and an overall higher cost of living.” “The fact that some Republicans are now willing to consider higher taxes for Social Security reflects how little time Congress has left to avoid a substantial reduction in retirement benefits,” Alex Beene, a financial literacy instructor for the University of Tennessee at Martin, told Newsweek. “The reality is that spending cuts alone become much harder to implement when the deadline is only a few years away.” https://www.newsweek.com/social-security-update-republicans-show-rare-support-for-raising-taxes-12415700 The youngest baby boomers are 61 to 62 years old in 2026 well how about that?

Yes. Grass is also green fwiw. Key point is: "the people charged with that responsibility must be able to discharge it." where is Maxine or Nancy or at least a dozen more D's in that picture?

Does Kwik Trip get state funding to build new gas stations? I know there are chargers at some gas stations in MN. I’ve seen them when filling up my truck in winter on my way north… there when I pull in, still there when I leave.

Folks are still buying EV garbage? Used to see a few each year, now we hardly ever see any.

Over a half mil on average for a charging station? And that is just the grant money.

AC Delco and Interstate... the end.

we have a very ignorant electorate who love it when their guy brings the pork back home some of these geriatrics are also why we're $40T in the hole
