Summary

Former Social Security Commissioner Martin O’Malley warns that staffing and funding cuts under Elon Musk could cause Social Security payments to halt within 30 to 90 days.

The SSA is reducing its workforce and closing offices, prompting concerns from Democrats, who accuse the Trump administration of trying to dismantle the program.

O’Malley predicts a major political backlash if payments are interrupted.

Meanwhile, leadership changes at SSA have added further instability, with no confirmed commissioner in place.

    I agree we are here now. Things are already collapsing.

    The person I was commenting toward appeared to be all for accelerationism, regardless of who gets hurt.

    And it’s hard for me to tell left and right acceleration apart. Within that context.

    I’m an anarchist, in action. So, I stand up to authority. But I also recognize that setting a match and burning it down is going to hurt a lot of innocents.

    Not just people, other life on this planet too.

    Anyway, their comment reminded me of somebody that would vote for Trump even though they are leftist just because they want to see the empire burn. Or someone who would stay home on their couch and refuse to vote for Harris for similar reasons.
