This is a damned shame to say the least but I’m as guilty as anyone.
My own ostrich coping mechanism has been long term personal goals and wondering what I’ll do when I can no longer work and SS is gone.

If they are “acting,” there isn’t a confirmation hearing because no one has yet been nominated to fill the role.
And here I thought orange just pulled this out of his ass to malign immigrants.
