Collapse is already starting. Many banks release SS checks several days before the official date, but they haven't arrived this month yet. Normally it shows up around the 26-28th, but it still hasn't. I asked my bank about it, and they said that soon they will have to release the checks on the official date, the 3rd. I use my SS to pay my rent, so this means that instead of my rent consistently being a few days early, it will consistently be a few days late.

They want to kill SS, and this is the first step. Once we are used to losing our early release, it will start coming a day or two late. Then a week late. People will be upset, but it will eventually show up, so they'll calm down. Then one month it will be skipped altogether, then go back to normal. Then it will happen again, until people will not be able to count on SS being reliable.

That's when they will say that the system is broken, and it should be cancelled immediately, and a new system will be developed, just like the MAGA Health Care plan. A decade of saying the new plan will be the best plan in the world, and its coming any minute, only to be told after a decade that they only have "concepts of a plan."

LOLOL. 100% success, I don't see any issues with this whatsoever. Musk's track record on such promises certainly is airtight, and his little Hitler Youth engineering team surely has this under control.

So we will have to rebuild it again in four years to remove all the backdoors put in place

-so, so many people that I’ve talked to.

Stop being surprised. They made a playbook. The posted it online 5 years ago. They said they’d follow it. They are following it. They will continue to follow it. This is not a surprise. You’re not allowed to be surprised.

STOP BEING FUCKING SURPRISED BY THIS.

This is insane and stupid and tells me there's no one involved in the process that has ever managed a software project before, which makes it doubly insane and stupid.

Of course a fresh out of college hotshot thinks they can complete a major coding project in 3 months. That's why no one takes their estimates seriously, not announces them to the world.

That is the point. He wants it to collapse. Musk has repeatedly talked about how he thinks social security shouldn't exist at all.

We all know how good Musk is with timelines... how full self driving going?

... Ok then.

My only income is SSDI.

... Guess its time to set up a go fund me or my cash app tag in my profile or something...

This is not how you do software and infrastructure upgrades. If Elmo and brain cell one that was not riddled with drugs he would know this.

Do you think Musk will use the right glue this time?

Just throw the entire code base to grok and ask for it to be written in react, nothing can go wrong.

The thing that kills government IT projects is Scale. Any beginner can whip up some forms in Access, but to get a thing like that to work on a national scale, most components need to be hand-crafted and -optimized.

It's taken my team months to stand up a vendor product, that's been installed by at least a dozen customers in similar sized businesses, with half a dozen vendor reps on-call 24/7.

I'm going to guess these geniuses will use MS Access.

After many months of DOGE completely restructuring SS: “Oops, sorry! We accidentally wired all your money to Israel.”

Because that worked so well with Twitter. Or going to Mars. Or Tesla.

Only this time it's so much worse. Goddammit this is all so dark.

Let’s get it on, bitches. Break that thang and let’s see what happens.
