IMO, the Democratic party lost the chance to offer age 40 for socsec,

which would have knocked DY45 off the air.

1. 40???

2. makes no sense. Is this irony?

4. RT/GOP striking again I'm thinking. Coming to DU

is making me feel like a fish trying to navigate through a pond full of hooked lures.

3. What are you talking about?

5. Prepare for the gig society.

6. That's not going to happen.

You might be thinking of a "guaranteed income" concept. Social Security is a retirement version of that, designed to help older people who are no longer working because of their age. It's going to be impossible to shift people's thinking about that.

If you want a guaranteed base income, that's another matter entirely, and would need to be approached on its own merits and have its own name.

In any case, nothing like that is going to be remotely possible until Democrats have control of both houses of Congress and the presidency. Work on what we can do now, not things that are not possible in our current situation.

7. If you never offer a idea, it will never be heard.

8. The DNC still has time to change the election from DT45.

[MineralMan]

9. What on Earth are you talking about?

The DNC has nothing to do with that. What you wrote makes no sense at all. The DNC is just the national organization of the Democratic Party. It has absolutely no authority over elections, past or present. It's the national committee of the Democratic Party.

I'm sorry, but I don't even know how to respond to this post.

11. Instead of the states paying unemployment and all be different due to

the system would be fair if socsec includes a Basic Income and provide training to keep 40 plus from waging war against each other.

10. Every mountain is unclimbable until someone climbs it.

Every sea unswimmable until someone swims it.

12. When I first saw your ops I thought they were funny.

I think I now get it and feel a bit bad for laughing. A number of members here are going through the same thing. My heart goes out to you. Keep going. Stay strong. It's a difficult battle.
