Dear Mariner,
None of your followers have a nephew’s perspective like me. When I was about 8-10 years old, you taught me the way that each Chess character moved–e.g. Pawn = 1 square forward. The Knight, always two squares linearly, then one square linearly or diagonally.
All this to say, I appreciate you Uncle Ed.

skipper wrote a new post, Social Security 25 days ago
Mariner hasn’t commented on the Trump tornado, choosing to stay with Nosey Mole in his underground abode. But Social Security is an issue that must be openly talked about by everyone. Time is short, perhaps so […]

Social Security’s financial problems could be solved in one simple stroke – remove the cap. It’s currently $168,000/ year. Imagine how much could be generated if Musk, Bezos and Zuckerberg were taxed at the same rate as working people who never reach that threshold. In my working career, I’ve only made that financial hurdle twice, both times when the threshold was much lower and I had worked over 3,000 hours in a year. That one simple act would not only fund Social Security for decades to come, but allow for an expansion of benefits so folks who depend ENTIRELY on Social Security wouldn’t have to live in poverty. The obscenely rich owe it to the working people who made them that way.
