@EricLDaugh Or the decrease could be from retroactive payments regarding the repeal of the WEP and GPO increasing the payments for March and April. And with those having been paid out, we are back to the prior level of growth. blog.ssa.gov/social-securit…

@EricLDaugh Anyone else find it interesting that there was a huge spike in payments when DOGE started going in and the payments are higher than they were in February? fred.stlouisfed.org/series/W823RC1

🚨 JUST ANNOUNCED: Social Security handouts just had their LARGEST monthly decline ever recorded. This is what happens when you end the waste, fraud and abuse.

@trackingdonald @EricLDaugh This is annual. The monthly series is here: fred.stlouisfed.org/series/W823RC1

@EricLDaugh According to the federal reserve reports, this is false.

@choochoobear Yes, it does.

I never wanna do another cross-country move again. This shit fucks you up emotionally, physically, and financially.

Going through and finishing $10 sketches, added new slots. I will likely be doing this the rest of the month. We're gonna be tight until the first, when we both get paid. So... yay. How life goes, y'know. Anyway, if you wanna help and get a sketch.... positive.myshopify.com/products/move-…

@dgb49 @choochoobear And even then it still is; the clusterfuckery is just hidden.

@choochoobear You're doing fine. Every move is an utter clusterfuck unless the person moving is rich and pays others to do it. Have never had a single move that wasn't awful, including one where we were moving across the street.

It will be morning before we leave. We have been getting rid of so much. We didn't realize how much we accumulated in 5 years. In a hotel tonight. Will have to email an apology to the landlord when I wake for leaving two days late.

On the secondish Sunday in May We gather together to say With our sisters and brothers Hooray to our mothers And rejoice because it's Mothers Day. Happy Limerick Day, everyone!

@choochoobear He used to work in the industry as someone who denied claims. As one who was once part of the conspiracy, he would know.

@OttoMartikaine3 @SwiftOnSecurity As an example of a quick answer, I asked for median wage in the US. It came up with an answered question for "What is the median wage in the US?" of $7.25/hr followed by a definition of minimum wage in the available details.

I’m sorry to announce that “if you had spent 10 seconds on Google” is no longer valid. The minimum time to make Google usable is now 25 seconds.

@elonmusk Note that this quote is from an in-universe manual on how to manipulate governments and people in order to control them from behind the scenes. The rest of the quote: "Such people have a tendency to become drunk on violence, a condition to which they are quickly addicted."

The power of government grows ever stronger with each passing year

@WendellHusebo Joe Biden's DOJ in June, 2020? Joe Biden snuck in and appointed William Barr as Attorney General?

BREAKING: Trump Judge in Fulton County Donated to Fani Willis, Financial Disclosures Show The donation of $150, though small, appears to present a conflict of interest for Judge McAfee. Judges are supposed to be impartial and avoid any appearance of a conflict of interest. The judge donated to Willis in June 2020, while working for Joe Biden's DOJ.

I have determined that the debating error to which I am most prone is introducing a pun with the intent of distracting participants from the matter at hand. In other words, an ADD homonym attack.

@choochoobear What did Ken Fucky think of chicken?

Was trying to type "Kentucky Fried Chicken" but typed "Kenfucky Tried Chicken" so that's about where I am right now mentally.

@altNOAA They are at least selling them for a couple dollars each (just over $20 for 10) so the price is in line.

Where is a deus ex machina when I need one?

@SesameErnie Bert says you do not get all the money when you land on Free Parking.

Who's ready for game night?!

@Stonekettle It does depend on how they define "liberal". I recall Marjorie Taylor Greene being described as being a far-left radical when she voted for McCarthy to be Speaker of the House.
