Despite what Americans just heard from the president, Social Security has very little fraud and is one of the most successful social programs in history. Don't let the continuing propaganda mislead you!
Setting the Record Straight on Social Security | Center on Budget and Policy Priorities
Social Security’s payment accuracy rate is very high — well over 99 percent — and it has many safeguards against improper payments, including rigorous protocols to stop paying benefits to people who have died. Only U.S. citizens and some lawfully present non-citizens may receive benefits.

As a native New Yorker I rarely have good things to say about SoCal but today my heart goes out to my friends in LaLaland. Stay safe, I know it's a schlep but I have a guest room if you need it.

When I retire I'm going to miss watching the support and engineering teams fix things for customers in real time on slack. That $#!+ is fun to watch
