  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.
Just over 10% of my normal benefit amount, and I knew nothing about it until a friend told me he had received one.

Did I miss something? What's up with that?

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

A bonus for good behavior, no doubt.

Couldn't find anything on the interweb about regular SS payments.  It dis say that People getting SSI are getting mo money.
You don’t become cooler with age but you do care progressively less about being cool, which is the only true way to actually be cool.

Yeah, I scoured their website and the web and couldn't find anything either. I just get my regular benefits, never worked in a government job, and while I am still working, those regular benefits pay the bills well above poverty level. Which is why I was wondering what's up.
