Musk To America's Retirees:
I Want A Tax Cut, So Please Die

Makena Kelly / Wired:
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. 
I've a sneaking suspicion that most older wretches will not do a damned thing to stop any of this, but will just bend over & take it, the same way they bent over & took it from their bosses for the yrs. it took to pay into Social Security. Apparently it's no longer our money & we can go fuck ourselves.
