The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

There were no checks being sent out to 120 year olds. That story is false, like so many of the stories you repeat.

That was a joke, I guess you are in such a mad you didn’t get it.
Stop trying to make something out of nothing.
Elon made mention of the oldest person they found collecting SS. I don’t remember the exact age he quoted, but I believe he said something like 113 years of age, but don’t quote me on that.

SNIP
“Currently, the oldest known (documented) living man in the USA is Edwin Martin of Florida (born 15 February 1915), who is aged 110 years, 43 days (There are other candidates who may be older, but are not yet validated).”

gerontology.fandom.com - List of oldest living men in the United States.

The idea that there were hundreds of thousands of people 100, 110, 120, 130, 140, 150, and 160 years old still receiving SS checks is ludicrous.

Elon and Trump continue to repeat that lie. What does that make them? Now that their lie has been exposed, debunked and proven to be hokum?


OMG! No one has made that claim except you. STOP your lying.

Stop getting your quotes from your puppeteer masters telling you what lies you are to repeat over and over again.
Can’t help your TDS and now MDS so best you get help.
