Everyone’s Starving on Social Security.
Now that the ‘ruinous inflation’ seems to have abated (I am paying $2.99 for a gallon for gas) all of us who are on what blacks call the ‘charity,’ but the rest of us call Social Security can look forward to the COLA announcement. And that announcement has nothing to do with a can of soda. It’s the Cost-of-Living Adjustment in the amount of our monthly payment which first shows up in the January check.
So, the COLA is announced, and everyone’s pissed off. Why? Because the monthly will only increase by 3.2%! That’s bullshit! That’s no goddamn good! How am I supposed to survive when prices for everything last year went through the roof?
It’s that goddamn Biden’s fault. He’s no fucking good. Wait ‘till he has to live on a goddamn social security check instead of all that money his kid stole from the Chinese.
From time to time, I stop off at the local McDonald’s for breakfast and to write part of my morning story. There’s a group of oldsters who meet there every morning and hold kind of a breakfast club. They pay 50 cents for a cup of coffee and refills are free.
What do they talk about? Who’s in the hospital, who’s come out of the hospital, who’s been misdiagnosed for some ailment and who needs to see a doctor but has been told they need to wait another three months.
