Obviously, everyone here knows that SS is under threat from Trusk, and we see the stories all the time. But I have yet to see a story expand and explain the full threat. They all talk about how Grandma won’t be able to afford groceries or the rent which is true. Take the next step though so that everyone else can see they too will be harmed, not just Grandma.
Grandma cannot afford groceries? How is that going to affect the local grocery store? Now, assuming Grandma is a grandma someone is going to pick up the slack: children or grandchildren. So warn GenX and GenZ and Mils that their grocery bill is going to double. Grandma cannot pay the rent? Hey, younger folks, gram and gramps are gonna move in with you. How’s that sound? Got a spare bedroom. Oh, and landlords, isn’t this great news? And all the other businesses that will be hurt if oldsters have no money: clothing, furniture, vacations, etc etc etc. This would be financial Armageddon for the entire economy. Spread the bad news.
