A secondary "benefit" (for these ghouls) is to hasten the demise of the Social Security Trust Fund. The primary reason that these people have Social Security numbers is so that they can work. When they work, they pay Social Security taxes. These payments help bolster the Social Security system to the tune of $26 billion each year, even though these individuals cannot claim benefits unless their immigration status changes.
Hastening the demise of the Social Security Trust Fund bolsters the argument that the program should be turned over to the private sector. Heaven forbid we instead #ScraptheCap, (https://www.ncpssm.org/entitledtoknow/millionaires-are-done-paying-into-social-security-for-2025/) making everyone pay their fair share.
"Millionaires stop paying into Social Security for the year this week [1st week of March]— and billionaires already stopped contributing wages to the program in January. The rest of us continue paying into the system for the entire year."
NCPSSM · Millionaires Are Done Paying Into Social Security for 2025 - NCPSSMMillionaires stop paying into Social Security for the year on March 1st --- and billionaires already stopped contributing wages to the program in January. The rest of us continue paying into the system for the entire year. Is it fair that Elon Musk, Rupert Murdoch, Charles Koch, and Tim Cook of Apple don’t have to contribute to Social Security for the rest of the year while most Americans do?

"We're talking #Jasper, 30 to 40% of that town getting burnt down, Alberta wildfires, the Calgary hailstorm. We're ignoring the much larger #CostOfClimate, the cost of inaction & the cost of poorly responding which will be some of the most costly things on earth over the next few decades."

"Speaking about #affordability and the cost of all of this, from a #CostOfClimate perspective the summer of 2024 now ranks as the most destructive season in Canadian history for insured losses. At $7 billion, that's just for a season and quite a lot of that was right here in Alberta."

"Meantime, we can take a breath. Give yourselves the time we need to process all this. We can be good to each other & check in and create even stronger bonds than ever before amongst the folks who care about the right things. Be well friends, this too shall pass."

"What opportunities might exist for a smart country like ours to seize what America leaves behind in this #GlobalEnergyTransition economy? How might we breach this void & become the leaders this moment so desperately requires? I don't know the answers. I only know they are questions we need to ask."

"When’s it ever been easy fighting #ClimateChange? When haven't we had all the money, power, and odds stacked against us? When have we ever had the luxury to wait around until that country slouches forward to its responsibilities? Never."

"Climate activists everywhere know we got hit. So what do we do now? I'm not much of a military guy, but on the day after that election I found myself thinking again and again at the unofficial slogan of the US Marine Corps, which is improvise, adapt and overcome."

"2023 #FallEconomicUpdate gives a tax break for investing in #CarbonCapture which allows you to continue increasing #OilAndGas production & shareholder profits but you have to provide evidence that it's actually doing that & the evidence for the efficacy of #CCUS on a mass scale is thin at best."

"Well #BigOil in Canada had to be pushed back with legislation on #greenwashing because their claim repeatedly is 'we are leading the path to #NetZero by 2050.' This feels like an admission that everything they've been saying about #CarbonCapture & what's going to happen with #emissions isn't true."

"The government's trying to have it both ways. On the one hand they say #CO2 is not a problem & on the other hand, they're saying 'we're part of the solution, our industries are going to reduce CO2.' If CO2 isn't a problem, which for the record it is, why would you bother trying to reduce it?"

"So I asked the Premier at the press conference "'your party is going to debate this resolution calling for more CO2 and for you to abandon your #NetZero by 2050 target. What are you going to do if it passes given you've said that you support net zero by 2050?'"

"The grassroots is engaging in a form of #ClimateDenial that has really gone out of style. Industry is saying, in an effort to be able to drill as much as it wants for the foreseeable future, 'we WANT to be part of the solution, which is why you need to give us money to build #carboncapture

"All too often #Alberta shows itself to be Canada's capital of #climate #denialism, #disinformation & outright non-science foolishness. Somehow in fall of 2024 it got worse than ever with government threats of further crippling actions against our formerly best-in-country #RenewableEnergy industry."

Well, besides not implementing #EUFarmtoFork, failing on #pesticides reduction, killing GAECs, not preventing farmers giving up, ... by @POLITICOEurope #ScrapTheCAP #EUGreenDeal
Warum wird? Habe auch bisher keine großen Impulse für die Ernährungs- und Landnutzungs- Wende gesehen. Keine Pestizidreduktion, kein Einsatz zum Abschaffen 1. Säule GAP und Umschichtung, keine Steigerung der artenreichen Landschaftselemente in der Agrarlandschaft! #ScrapTheCAP #EUFarm2Fork #Özdemir
