I wonder how deep they had to dig to find one of those so-called 'experts' who could paint the narrative they needed...
According to CNBC, as President Joe Biden and House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., continue to negotiate ahead of a June debt ceiling deadline, 'experts' (they could find only one but they say it as a plural anyway for effect) are warning that Social Security checks could be at risk if there is a default.
Based on the payment schedule for those monthly payments, the 'oldest and poorest beneficiaries could be the first who may have their payments affected', according to Kathleen Romig, director of Social Security and disability policy at the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities (whoever the fuck they are). “That would be devastating for 'those people', because they rely on their benefits so much,” Romig said.
I have to wonder from whence she speaks because the only 'payment schedule' I know of for SSI payments is the fucking calendar. You have any idea what the fuck she's talking about?
These people are fear-mongering dooshtools.

The Asbury Park beach was named in a new list just released by Travel + Leisure of the Top 25 Beaches in the United States. There has to be some kinda behind-the-scenes bullshit going on there because there's easily ten other beach towns in Jersey with better beaches and amenities than Asbury.
Travel + Leisure Magazine published their list May 19, right before the official kick-off to summer of Memorial Day weekend. Asbury Park is included among beaches such as Carmel-by-the-Sea, California, Poipu Beach in Hawaii, Coronado Beach in San Diego and Oak Street Beach on Lake Michigan.

They get paid, as a whole crew, by the roof - not by the hour. That's why the fucking guys are up and nailing at 6:30am and stay until well after dark. They don't finish the roof, they don't get paid. THAT is why some knucklehead - who's name actually was Edvin Cinto, 24, was working on a roof on a home on Sterling Point Drive in Deltona on Monday when he was struck by the boltof lightning. Juss' sayin'...

The Captain from Castile was filmed partly in Mexico, and the then new Popocatépetl was erupting in the background.
ReplyDeleteDon't forget, Obama closed all the National parks & put park rangers on furlough, as a way of inflicting pain on the American public to apply pressure on the Republicans. Even monuments (Mt Rushmore for example) that didn't need park rangers were closed off. So I could see them again repeating the 'inflict pain' play by cutting SS checks to the "oldest & poorest", as a way of applying pressure on the Republican to cave. And of course, there will be a 24x7 coverage of how 'heartless & cruel' the Republicans are by forcing 'people to starve', because they won't agree to Biden's dictates.

That code of conduct, I am not sure it applies much any more with the type of people ruining the military.
ReplyDeleteWhy follow it when the people above you would NEVER follow it.

"Could be" headlines used to be written to get people to buy newspapers. Now they are to get pageviews. Both made money. Thing is, anything "could be". You have to use your "probably not" filters.
ReplyDelete"Sunshine could be source of bad politics" ("probably not")
"Your dog could be hurting himself by eating roaches while you sleep" ("probably not")
"Space aliens could be watching you make love" ("probably not")
Most so-called news sites on the internet are just frustrated headline writers who can't land a real job. ("probably true").
