#DOGE Plans to Rebuild SSA #Codebase in Months, #Risking Benefits and System #Collapse

"Social Security systems contain tens of millions of lines of code written in #COBOL, an archaic programming language. Safely rewriting that code would take years—DOGE wants it done in months.

Musk pointed to data he allegedly pulled from the system that showed 150-year-olds in the US were receiving benefits, something that isn’t actually happening..."

How much economic damage will America suffer because it has become a rogue nation? Of course, there’s much more than money at stake here. Still, becoming a nation that can’t be trusted to honor agreements or follow the rule of law has to have monetary as well as political and diplomatic consequences. How big are these monetary consequences?

Pretending things are normal **when they are not** is how all the "flatten the curve" liberals responded to COVID once the curve was, well, flattened.

The medical system has lost vital personnel, funding, and now research.

No one else is going to protect your health (or what's left of it).

What is your plan for when the institutions are unable to help you anymore?

"EROEI (Energy Return on Energy Invested) is possibly the most important ratio to modern human existence. This measure is foundational to our civilization, yet understood by few.
EROEI is why we're able to support 8 billion humans, why atmospheric CO2 is 425ppm and also why human civilization will eventually collapse."

more thoughts on #trump from ugo bardi

(who is still being a antivaxxer and i have still beef with 😒 )

but what he has to say on this is still worth thinking about.

he is the fast-#collapse-of-#complexity-guy

i strongly agree with him , the #midterms are a huge leverage point no one seems to have on the radar.

I was thinking earlier about how I should just stop posting/boosting about how bad things are going ‘cause we all have enough on our plate already and you can see it everywhere you look already, and why not just focus on the good, happy, silly little things instead?

It’s really stupid out there, and it’s not gonna end in four years (if ever). We all know how this ends, btw. Maybe we should try to lighten the load on each other. Just a thought.

Silly thoughts, like “What if I died in the shower?” are a nice way to break out of the doom and dust silos we can easily trap ourselves in.

We need to be kind to ourselves and to each other, because it’s only gonna get worse; let’s be honest.

This is not just something that happens to the crops. It happens to us. As crops start failing, and they will, there will be spikes in prices and ultimately famines due to populations not served. When people aren't getting what they need, they don't sit passively by. There will be unrest. It will get ugly fast. We can plan for some shortfalls if they happen intermittently. But as they become more the norm, that's a big problem.

Our oligarchs imagine that they personally will always have the most money, so first access to things that run short. And they're comfortable with large numbers of others suffering and dying . So we shouldn't get too complacent and assume that things will somehow work out. That isn't the plan they have.

We need to restore democracy and federal institutions that operate in the best interest of the people. And we need to focus on stopping climate change, by seriously retooling the parts of our economy that are egging it on. The oligarchs see climate change as a business opportunity, a chance to sell to desperate people at jacked up prices. They're not interested in stopping it, just being in control of what people will cry out for and pay money for.
