Yesterday, I discovered the the SS admin had deposited a quite large amount of money in my bank account.

The fake president hasn't found it yet. He can't take it away, either. It is already in my bank account.

He can, Elon has access to that now.

I'm pretty sure the SS regulations excluding government pensioners existed before Biden was president.  Is there nothing you won't consider to be Biden's fault?  A broken record plays he same song over and over again.

The law was passed under Biden so his handlers failed to give Element99 his money.

Some things are Obama's fault, Bush's fault etc. This post was edited by my2cents at March 7, 2025 8:16 AM MST

The law was passed January 5, 2025. Biden is not a magician. This post was edited by Jane S at March 7, 2025 5:52 PM MST

Then given that the money was deposited within 2 months of passage,  I would say Trump's administration implemented the law much quicker than normal government actions.   Again, a win for DOGE.  (Government Efficiency)

Musk hadn't yet taken a chainsaw to the SS workforce  yet. Let's hope everyone got their adjustment.

The chainsaw is for fraud. Not legit expenses such a this is considered.  
Musk is performing audits and advising about possible waste and fraud and improper payments.  

No one is losing their SS if they are legally entitled to it.  

I was referring to cutting 7000 Social Security workers. That is what workforce means. It does not mean benefits. Let me try to explain my comment. The law was implemented quickly because they had not yet drastically reduced staff.

No need to patronize me.

And the fact that the workers have to actually come to the office and work. 

I personally take extreme offense at the assertion that all employees who work from home are not doing their job. I worked from home from 2010 to 2015, long before it was widespread. Several of my co-workers did as well. We had to produce just as much from home as we did in the office. We had to be available for calls and video chats. If our computers were idle for any length of time, anyone trying to reach us could see how long we were gone. If an employee isn't doing their job from home, they sure weren't doing it in the office either. Most adults do not need to have someone standing over them to do their job. There are many valid arguments for doing in-person work for some jobs, but if a job can be done remotely, a supervisor who thinks it can't is not good at her/his job.

If you continue to attack work from home employees as a group, I will consider it a deliberate personal attack.

The SS workers at this time, have nothing to do with you.  I think I can safely say you are not one of them. I am sure you did your work as required by our your boss. 

Do you believe our government, has those type of protocols in place for remote workers?  Our government which keeps employee records in a literal mine shaft. And can only process retirements on paper, by hand and is limited to 10,000 per month.   

Sorry, but I do not believe it. This post was edited by my2cents at March 8, 2025 11:26 AM MST

Sorry, but none of that has anything to do with your frequent assertions that working from home is less productive or that employees are not really working. The person who slacks off will find a way regardless of location and the employee who takes pride in their work will do it regardless of location. 

You are making assumptions about people you don't know and you don't know anything about their work environment either. The fact that I started remote work 15 years ago should tell you that any 'protocols' are pretty standard by now. Answering a phone or accessing data from a computer isn't some futuristic technology. 

Again, I consider your wholesale disparagment of all remote workers insulting. This is my own lived experience.

Just as  keeping employee records in a limestone mine shaft is standard protocol.   I do not believe our government had any of those remote work protocols in place. 
If they did we would have already heard about them inthe news, when outlets were dying over workers being forced to return to the office. 

It has nothing to do with you and your remote work unless you were remotely working for the US government. 

My comment was not about where the government keeps records or what technology they have. Changing the subject won't change the tone of your comments. You want to persist in insulting a group of people to which I belong even knowing that I consider a personalattack, fine. But try to apply the same criteria when you delete comments you don't like and call them personal attacks.

The comment was about GOVERNMENT workers.  NOT you.  
And NO,  I do not believe the government had any protocols in place to ensure people out of the office were indeed working. 
You are not a government worker, my posts have nothing to do with you at all. 

Either you are deliberately mischaracterizing my issue with your posts, or you are trying to gaslight me, or the other option which you would delete if I listed it.

If someone tells me they are offended my words, I don't keep doing it. Manners.

Again, anyone working in the SS office (subject of this question) are government workers. And do not believe the government had any protocols for remote workers. 

Give it up already! 'Protocols' are a computer and a telephone. And when first I asked you to stop attacking remote workers, you were not specifying government workers. Why are you keeping this up? And if you want to believe something without evidence, since I  assume you are not initimately familiar with government offices, don't expect anyone, especially me, to agree. Repeating yourself over and over as if I am to stupid to understand is condescending and rude behavior .
