I prefer the Greek version these days - it's less shiny and refined - not as pithy - and doesn't have the double entendre of Kantian sophistry - "the strong do what they can and the weak suffer what they must".
Yea, I'm still seeing the path I laid out before - existing SS gets 'auto-cut' by statute and the government backfills with a means tested CBDC to make up the difference.
I'm going to be amused (while a tiny part of me dies inside) by people trying to intimate that CBDCs are 'just like Crypto!'...
The fault lines on SS have been in place for a long time. I use to be much more doom and gloom but it seems pretty obvious now how they're going to play it out. The 'end' of the trust fund isn't the end of the programs - it's an automatic reduction in services.
Medicare and SS aren't going...
