Dead people will now vote for Democrats even HARDER!

And why are you ignoring that the OP stated that they are cancelling healthcare for people that are ALREADY DEAD?

Do you not think that disingenuous of you?

YOU do not know that answer?

Yet you are going on about it being untrue without any evidence that the people in question are indeed alive or plain old do not exist (which is the worst option)?

To me personally?

None as of yet.

But that is the latitude that one gives those that have earned a certain degree of one's trust and confidence.

You know, like the trust and confidence you placed in the word salad and wine candidate.

Like the trust and confidence you are giving the politicians and news agencies that are spewing their "nuh uhs".

It will all come out one way or the other.

It appears I will be less affected than you by whatever the full truth of the matter turns out to be.

You see, I don't care either way. I'm just a feller creating spicy memes and comments about things that the general population is powerless to do anything about.

I do not fear that YOU turn out to be correct.

I take umbrage with the fact that you so vehemently oppose the audits taking place.

Shhh...neither the inspectors general nor the congress have sought to do a full accounting of where the people's money has been going, how much has been embezzled, squandered, or mysteriously disappeared.

Economic war is afoot, Brazil just joined OPEC+, and America is on the brink of insolvency.

That's the equivalent of fighting up a muddy hill.

That's a long way of saying you don't know how to back what you're saying.

Newsflash... there are not that many people over the age of 110...

yeah. Their aren't. And Elon doesn't know how epoch dating works in computer systems. Which is why he claims there's people over 110 getting benefits.

Well, if the epoch dating is applied to ALL of the ages listed in all of the accounts, they would all calculate the actual age of the recipient no matter if they were 67, 82, or 150.

In not, why not?

Explain epoch dating to everyone.

It reportedly initiates at the base date of 1875.

I got you started, finish us out.

Still waiting...

There are many epoch dating systems. What is an epoch dating system? It's an arbitrary start point for a computer to use to calculate time.

There's UNIX. Which starts its epoch on Midnight, January 1st, 1970. MacOS and Android run on UNIX. BIOS (the thing that appears on your PC screen for a few seconds before windows boots of) uses January 1st, 1980. Windows uses 30 December 1899. Even your fitness tracker uses a epoch dating system (most of them use the one created by Garmin).

Different systems need to track time differently because of the jobs they're designed to do. Some track time down to the pico-second while others only track time in years. But all of these systems need to report to humans, who track time in different ways from computers and from other humans.

That's why when you setup a phone or a computer for the first time, you have to tell it where you're located, what time zone you're in, etc. That way it can report the time and date in a format you're familiar with.

Do you remember Y2K and everyone freaking out about how the computers might break? That's because the epoch dating system being used by those computers. Those systems had to be updated with a software patch so they could store times in excess of 1st of January, 2000.

Why did I type all that out? So I can tell you that the social security administration uses COBOL. COBOL was created by the DoD in 1960. What's COBOL's epoch start date? May 20th, 1875.

Why that date? Because that's the date the Convention du Mètre was signed in Paris, and the people who created COBOL thought it would be nerdy fun to set it to that date. (I think they were right).

So, when Elon jumps up and says that there are people listed in the SS database that have been around since 1875, you know he doesn't have the slightest idea how epoch dating works.

AH, I knew it. Had to copy and paste off of a website.

You typed 7 or 8 paragraphs to reach the starting point I already provided you.

There was no need for that.

That was meant to impress with an obvious vast knowledge of how to copy from a google search.

Now that you have enthralled readers with verbosity, you still have NOT demonstrated that you have any idea how epoch dating works or explained how Elon and the Big Balls Musketeers got it wrong.

😄

Hint - the first recipients were eligible to receive benefits in 1940.

This fun.

Care to give it another go?

FUN FACT: When Social Security was established in 1935 the retirement was set at 65.

The average life expectancy in the US in 1935 was less than 60 years old for men, and less than 64 years old for women.

😄 They never expected anyone to see a dime of their stolen money back.

It's true.

While that's a fact, it's factual in a way you don't understand. That's the average. Not for adults, but for everyone. Including that high infant mortality rate. And that high child mortality rate. To things like measles.

So, when you have a lot of children dying it drags that average down. Because according to the US census, in 1935 there were 7 million adults over the age of 65.

By 1940 that number had grown to 8 million.

So... while the average is a fact, you are wrong.

222,000 out of the 7 million 65+ adults in 1935 drew monthly benefits in 1940.

I am not "wrong".

You are stalling.

Explain HOW Elon&Co. got 6 million ages wrong due to a misunderstanding of "epoch dating".

No, I explained what an epoch dating system was with some examples.

And the COBOL dating system was created in 1960 and runs the SS database.

AND people can first be eligible for benefits in 1940.

Both of those things can be true at the same time. They do not exclude each other.

You described dating systems, the existence of which is not in dispute.

You said they got 6 million ages wrong due to a misunderstanding of the dating system.

Walk me through what they did wrong.

Another ignorant comment... not surprised... lol

You don't know what epoch dating is either, do you? It's okay if you don't. It's a thing for data base administration. An example you can go look at is Amazon. Amazon uses the UNIX system, which sets the start date and time at Midnight on January 1st, 1970.

How they use it is to determine when you searched for something. So, if you search for a hat or anything, part of the URL amazon creates includes a long string of numbers that are the exact seconds it's been since midnight, January 1st,1970 and when you typed that search in Amazon.

Why do I bring that up? Because the social security system uses the ancient COBOL system. Why is that important? Because the creators of COBOL set the epoch start date to midnight, May 20th 1875.

Why that date? Because that's the date the Convention du Mètre was signed in Paris. And if the DoD commissioned COBOL in 1959 and it was created in 1960, why did they choose that date instead of 1960? They were being nerdy and thought it would be fun.

So, why do they pick specific dates and times as a start date? Because not everyone uses the same calendar or even the same dating system within that calendar. Like how Europeans date things by day, month, then year and Americans date by month, day, year.

That way the systems all know the date and report that information to the user in the format they're familiar with.

So, when someone tells you that there's a massive amount of people on the social security system that are over 100 years old, you automatically know they don't know how epoch dating works. And if you're thinking, "Well, Elon is a super genius who created paypal, tesla, and space X, this seems like a thing he should know."

And you'd be right if he was a genius who created those companies. But he's actually a nepo baby who used generational wealth to buy his way into more wealth.

Yes... you never heard of Y2K either... figures

YEah, and saying "you never heard of Y2K either" is a clear sign you have no clue about epoch dating systems.

Imma give you a hint: Y2K was a problem with the older systems epoch dating. Maybe go do some reading on it so you can have a better understanding than Musk?

oh... you didn't know about the mad rush to update systems... LOL

Here's another fun fact... they found more active social security numbers than living Americans... OOPS

Medicaid is not the same thing as Medicare.

You're right. It is not. But seniors over 65 can qualify for it. Children qualify for it. Pregnant women qualify for it. Adults who aren't covered by insurance through a job can qualify for it.

Adults 18-65 qualify only if they are determined to be disabled through a lengthy process and verification of contribution...or an illegal immigrant by simply showing up.

Made discoveries?

I researched nothing.

That shit is common knowledge.

😄

MedicAID and SSI that is 😉

Huh?

That is nonsensical if for no other reason than if fails to include men, and the fact that no men are able to have babies but all men die.

You are either mischaracterizing in order to spread misinformation or do not understand the text.

The OP stated that they are taking healthcare away from people that are ALREADY DEAD.

A replacement program...for dead people
😄
