Muskrat's inexperienced incel techno-terrorist children saw 150-year-olds where they do not exist [View all]

So, about those "150-year-olds" in the Social Security system: that assertion came from Muskrat's inexperienced, incel techno-terrorist children who are likely allergic to COBOL and have no CLUE how these systems or COBOL even work.

BUT SHitler is going to allow Muskrat to cut our Social Security anyway, based on his incel techno-terrorist brats' assertions. So count on that.

The clip below is from an email I received from Paul Krugman's substack:

I'M DOCUMENTING THIS SO THAT WE CAN SEE HOW INSANELY RIDICULOUS THIS ALL IS. How many people will die, become gravely ill, or become financially destitute or homeless because of these goddamned charlatan sociopaths.
