That’s an odd response, but you’re certainly entitled to your opinion. I guess you’ll have figure out the history and purposes of Git without the original author’s input? 🤷🏻♂️

Sure has been great having a traitor worse than Benedict Arnold seated in our Chief Executive position. Can’t wait to see him perp walked behind bars!

I know you're a serious person. And I think you'd agree there is a good chance things can get even more stupid than they already are, in the US House of Representatives.
But I'm not at all disturbed at Mr. McCarthy losing his position. I'm happy with it: the man is an unprincipled liar, whose only interest is his own wealth & position. Good riddance.
It will be entertaining to see what the GQP establishes next as their "leadership". We're already in the dirt.

Good points! But I feel folks should also pay close attention to their genetics, eating habits, and the quality of their health insurance plans.
Mom’s side of the family live past 95 (male & female). Dad died at 76 in a car accident (not at fault). His Dad died at 54 (?) from a stroke/heart condition. Mom lived to 96.
In my soul I think I’m going to live past 90 — more of a curse than a blessing in my mind? But I’ll prepare for the worst.

I’m 62 and fully retired. I’m not gonna lie: it sucks to finally get to this stage of life, and realize how truly fraudulent the dream of “retirement” is in America. I have two saving graces right now: my military retirement pay, and two mortgages that will be completely paid off by age 65. Will I live beyond age 65? 🤷🏻♂️
And I’m genuinely fortunate! I shudder to imagine what American Citizens with less benefits face for their daily futures? 😮
@edc128e6 Lindsey is feckless: I'm quite sure he cooperated to avoid prosecution, and save his own traitorous hide. Full disclosure: I was a South Carolina resident 2001-2016.

And so, if you are wondering when to start collecting Social Security benefits in the USA… do a little math. What will you collect over the remainder of your life time? (Benefit at 62yo) * 12 * (76 - 62), vs. (Benefit @ 65yo) * 12 * (76 - 65). Don’t forget to deduct age for chronic illnesses, including COVID. Just be real: it’s your money. Is it better to start receiving benefits at 62yo, or 65yo?
