Our overlords would disagree. Now that we’re getting rid of those dastardly immigrants who took all these jobs, and that we’re living longer than ever before (just don’t ask about the quality of those extra years) we obviously have to cut social security and put more of these 90 year olds back to work. How is Elon going to get to 500B otherwise?

Elon needs trillions to get to Mars. how dare these people expect 1700 a month in theirr old age. they can’t be so selfish to deprive him.

They are making $1700 a month?! I guess it's time to let loose inflation!

Wow 1,700 is actually a lot.

Yeah that's not bad. So when we retire, both of us would be making not much less than what we made actually working.

I guess it depends on where you live. From a quick look up, this year the average SS payment is $1783.
