Completely disagree. We should be rooting for this to happen, as soon as possible. Nothing less will wake up red voters.

No that is unacceptable. People will die, people will despair. Watch you don’t become what we are fighting.

That's inevitable either way. You're not thinking very strategically. The question is one of minimizing harm. There's no possibility of no harm.

In the meantime, how many millions of disabled and retired people who depend on those checks to live have to die first?

This is a histrionic and intellectually dishonest response. Zero millions of disabled and retired people who depend on those checks to live will die if a check is missed. They will, however, experience discomfort, which is the exact point I was making.

Yeah, we'll live. But not be able to pay insurance bills, those will be cancelled. Credit cards extra fees for not paying bills add up quickly. Landlord might let us slide for one month, maybe. Not to mention the eating thing. Sure, discomfort.

Well, if we can’t buy food at the grocery store, I suppose we can use the food banks. Oh wait. 🤦♀️

I know, it's all insane!

Yeah, I think you missed my entire point. An incredible amount of pain is inevitable under Trump. My point is that it's better for it to happen early, so that it can generate the necessary outrage for effective protest to happen in a timeframe where it's still possible for it to have an effect.

I get it. But in my position, and probably many others, for us personally to miss a check or two, is something we will never be able to pull out of. Hopefully the outrage will happen sooner rather than later.

I do understand. Things are awful, and my thoughts are on what it will take to make them less awful. I just think the longer that things are shitty but very slightly less than crisis level, the more normalized Trump's shit gets. I'd rather have the crisis early as opposed to later.

Yes, I can agree with that.

BS! All I have is SS! If $ is not deposited, I don’t eat… my animals don’t eat… my bills don’t get paid… Life basically ends! I literally have $15.00 left at the end of the month. So NO! I’ve never been so worried in my life. I can’t sleep and am nauseous 24/7
