It’s amazing that things like cutting FDA funding are never framed as, “I think private companies should be able to profit from having you literally eat shit and you shouldn’t be able to do anything about it”

Musk claims Social Security is a "gigantic magnet to attract illegal immigrants."
In fact, immigrants here illegally do not collect Social Security. But they pay $25.7 billion a year into it, a recent study found, so these undocumented workers are actually subsidizing Americans.
