If you receive your Social Security this month, please post and let us know.

24. My SS was deposited

The threats coming from felon and dud are abuse. Even if Social Security continues to disburse payments, the threats will continue in an effort to demoralize us through anxiety. The threats will also undermine the economy, because we'll do our best to limit any extra spending.
Many of us have not experienced abuse in our personal lives, and so might not recognize the clues or have the tools to fight back. I didn't accept abuse in my relationships and either worked with people to change their behavior or walked away. I'm not sure how we can walk away from our own government, but I hope we figure out a strategy.
In the meantime, we can remember FDR's quote: "We have nothing to fear but fear itself." I didn't think I'd have to feel fear when I thought of the U.S. government, but there we are.
Hang in there and have find some joy, some enjoyment.
