    Have you been following the story about the Social Security Department- and how millions of people as old as 160 years old are receiving payments?

     

     Come on Ja.  You're a little behind.  The reason Musk thought that is cuz he and Big Balls don't do COBOL.

     

    Quote

    Part of the confusion comes from Social Security’s software system based on the COBOL programming language, which has a lack of date type. This means that some entries with missing or incomplete birthdates will default to a reference point of more than 150 years ago. The news organization WIRED first reported on the use of COBOL programming language at the Social Security Administration.

     

    Additionally, a series of reports from the Social Security Administration’s inspector general in March 2023 and July 2024 state that the agency has not established a new system to properly annotate death information in its database, which included roughly 18.9 million Social Security numbers of people born in 1920 or earlier but were not marked as deceased. This does not mean, however, that these individuals were receiving benefits.

     

    The agency decided not to update the database because of the cost to do so, which would run upward of $9 million.

    I understand your point and until I read the reasons I agreed with you but it is against federal law to pay for roads with public funds for a public road and then turn it into a toll road without certain approvals. Biden did not give full approvals and therefore it is up to the Trump administration to decide.

     

    Thanks for your civil response.

     

    However from things I have read, President Biden approved it and President Trump rescinded it.  Where are you getting your assertion from?

    (Reuters) - The Trump administration said on Wednesday it was rescinding federal approval of New York City's congestion pricing program that is designed to reduce traffic and raise money to upgrade aging subway and bus systems.

    Congestion pricing, which the city has estimated would bring in $500 million in its first year, was approved in the final months of former President Joe Biden's administration. As it involved tolls on federal highways, it required U.S. approval.

    Free Agents we like for the 2025 Bills?

    Fix the defense first. You can sign all the best WR’s you want and the Bills still won’t win a Super Bowl until the defense is fixed. 
     

    No matter what WR they bring in they aren’t going to score more than they did this last year. So stop with the WR crap and bring in defensive players.

     

    Not sure how some of you are so ignorant and haven’t figured this out yet but still are screaming for a WR. Good thing you don’t run the team. 

     

    In principle I agree with you, but do we trust Beane to get star quality defensive players which is what we are and have been missing?

    Well, there are things like the salary cap and being able to put together a 53 man roster.  

     

    Yeah well I don't know how the salary cap works and don't want to know and don't think many people do. But I do see teams that are cap strapped somehow able to sign big money players.

     

    A few years ago I said I wanted Von Miller and got several responses such as yours and we all saw what happened.

     

    I want Tee. We'll see what happens.

    I watched a couple of Chargers game this year and saw MCConkey and figured him to be a wily veteran at first. Then I found out he was a rookie.  Holy cow, why didn't we draft him?  Gets open and catches the football.  Just the kind of guy we need.  Oh well.

    Bengals are having stadium issues

    The Bengals took Hamilton County to the cleaners in that stadium deal. All stadium deals are bad, but this one was extra special bad. The tax payers pay for everything and the team keeps all stadium revenue. The kicker is that the main negotiator for the county on that deal back in the late 90's resigned his position with the county to go work for the Bengals shortly after the stadium's opening. It's almost like he was negotiating a good deal for his future employers. City government corruption at it's finest. 

     

    I remember reading about this a while back.  The contract includes a provision that if a holographic replay system is ever invented, the city has to buy it for them.

    Wait, so Trump leaving a 34-0 game at halftime is wasteful? I'd argue staying is a bigger waste of time and money, and rest assured if he had stayed the reliable media would have said exactly that.

     

    Going at all is YUUUUUGE waste of taxpayer money.  How is president Trump going to the Super Bowl not "unnecessary in the government"?  Please explain.    That's the standard as stated by Elon Musk.  

     

    Same could be said of his multi million dollar trips to Florida ever weekend.

     

    I see these lists of all the waste they've found like $50,000 for this and 1.2 mil for that.  Here's a big one.  $20,000,000. Low hanging fruit if we were really serious about paying off the debt.

     

    And no, I'm not defending the deep state or anything. Just cut WASTE, fraud, and ABUSE wherever you fond it even if it's in the Oval Office.

    $20,000,000  trips to the Super Bowl for President Trump and  leaving at 1/2 time are unnecessary in the government.

     

    As aren't mega million dollar weekly trips to Florida.

     

    Come on man, walk the walk if you're really serious about this.

    Is it time to move on from McDermott?

    And yet McDermott lead us to all the games prior to the losses. I won't disagree that our defense is the problem yet I'm not blaming him for a missed FG by Bass that could have tied 2023 Chiefs game and we had a chance at the end of this season too. 

     

    You gotta win big games to get to the big games.

    Because he doesn't need DOGE to do what you said.  He's already made himself the richest man in history without it.  And he's defied critics in everything he's done.

     

    To these mega billionaires enough is never enough. They need more always.  He can't be satisfied to have the biggest company, it has to be bigger than the next 5 put together.  And having President Trump in your back pocket helps.

     

    The other thing I think he's angling for is NASA to pay for his trip to Mars.  I've heard President Trump talk about it a few times.
