So what about intersex kids born with both genitals? Are they born felons ??
From time to time this board has interesting discussion on how to address social security.
Maybe I’ve missed it but we never talk about income discrepancy. We do talk about raising the retirement age or raising the cap.
But what if for the 70MM US workers working for wages that barely get them by companies actually take care of them? We’ve seen an explosion in wage and wealth discrepancy. I’ve seen statistics that say CEO income has gone up over 1000% since around 1980 while average worker pay has gone up like 25% when you look at time adjusted dollars.
If you simply increased that 70MM employee pay by $10,000 per yr, you put 42 billion annually into Social Security.
Don’t want to raise the cap on high income to where they pay the same tax rate, then let’s solve more problems by increasing worker pay.

I don't know whether to puke the police guards or thumbs up the reply about how Teslas are better guarded than kids in school.
Entire families of children would be wiped out.
As a pharmacist I would never question a parent who was concerned about adverse effects of a medication being given to their child. But considering adverse effects is only half of the equation. If you aren’t also considering the disease being prevented, and accurately considering that disease, then you don’t have the equation correct.

House hearing ends abruptly after Republican misgenders trans member
Heated exchange after subcommittee chair Keith Self calls first out trans representative Sarah McBride ‘Mr McBride’
"McBride has said she intends to “pick her battles” and avoid rising to Republicans’ bait, because attacks on her are meant as distractions from policies which hurt ordinary Americans.House hearing ends abruptly after Republican misgenders trans member
Heated exchange after subcommittee chair Keith Self calls first out trans representative Sarah McBride ‘Mr McBride’www.theguardian.com
“I think we are all united that attempts to attack a vulnerable community are not only mean-spirited but really an attempt to misdirect,” she told CBS. “Because every single time we hear the incoming administration or Republicans in Congress talk about any vulnerable group in this country, we have to be clear that it is an attempt to distract.
“Every single time we hear them say the word ‘trans’, look at what they’re doing with their right hand. Look at what they’re doing to pick the pocket of American workers, to fleece seniors by privatizing social security and Medicare. Look at what they’re doing, undermining workers.”
Speaking to the New York Times, McBride said that behind the scenes some Republicans have been “warm and welcoming”, though they have not defended her in public."
I don't know much about Rep. McBride, but I sure like her attitude.
I also like the way she handled Rep. Self as well.
In Tuesday’s foreign affairs hearing, panel chair Keith Self of Texas introduced the Delaware member when it was her turn to speak by saying: “I now recognize the representative from Delaware, Mr McBride.”
McBride responded satirically: “Thank you, Madam Chair.”
