... please don't let Elon f**k up my social security.

SNIP The Social Security Administration Is Gutting Regional Staff and Shifting All Public Communications to X
The SSA’s shift to Elon Musk’s X comes as the agency plans to cut its regional office workforce by roughly 90 percent, WIRED has learned. SNIP

And... while we're at it, I'm headed to the Philippines for a vacay with my Filipina wife, who has a green card. Please don't let Trump cancel her green card while we are out of the country. I figure we can fight it if she's in country, but if we're outside the country, I just plain don't know.

Seriously, Lapsody,

Why are you leaving the country when there’s a chance your wife won’t be able to get back in?

Seriously, Lapsody,

Planned, booked, and counted on before how big a wild card Trump can be became very apparent. When I planned it the chances were less than 1% because they can never be zero. Now I think it's 20% and slowly rising, but three to four weeks ago, I thought it remote. But Trump's a wild card. I talked about it again with my wife and she doesn't think so, but she's relying on her friends. A lot can change in a month under Trump, and we'll be gone a month. Good thing she's apolitical and spotlessly clean - a good catholic girl.

It's sad to say.....

But certain phone apps, political shit, etc ----- I'd take them OFF my phone, computer, and social media if I was going to re-enter America and was a green card holder.

Politics aside I hope you and your bride have no trouble getting back in.

Hopefully the harassment by ignorant dummies doing the INS job is not the norm.
