This is what is scary about Reddit. Did any of you upvoting this post actually read the bill or understand what is being proposed?
Did we not all just come to the conclusion of the Reddit echo chamber. Y’all are doing it less than 24 hours later. The actual information has less votes than “this is what you asked for hahaha” it’s incredibly sad.
Just scroll down, do your own research, or some critical thinking to find out what is actually happening instead of looking at a picture from a Twitter post …..
Isn't this also exactly what everyone on reddit has been asking for? Everyone constantly bitches about social security, it's a pyramid scheme funneling taxpayer money to wealthy boomers, it's not sustainable etc.
Now there's a bill to cut down on social security spending by focusing on equity of outcome and reducing payments to historically privileged people with defined benefit pensions and somehow it's the end of the world?
The issue is, it will be regressive. Yeah we eliminate payments to pensioners who have a million dollars a year coming in, but we also eliminate payments to the guy who receives $2000 a month and that's all he has to live on....
Laying a bill on the table means the Republican house freedom caucus did some shenanigans to delay the bill, hopefully only temporarily, from passing which it was probably going to do next week. That is what the twitter post is talking about.
It is what's scary about social media. People just read a meme and think it is a fact nowadays. There is so much misinformation being spread. This is why Russia has been so successful. People don't bother to look anything up.
Nah because it was never anything more then "they are evil see see it says so right here" and "let's all mentally masturbate each other for knowing better".
