The whole point of social security is that people shouldn't have to live and die in abject poverty.
Is it perfect? Of course not. I'd prefer it was more generous. But it is better than nothing and speaks to our (often aspirational) values.

If you’re struggling today, as I am, just know this:

It’s the world that has failed.
Keep calm and bugger on.

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die.
Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.

I recently had my student read through the 2023–2024 Pew Religious Landscape Study. My students’ prompt was pretty easy– they just had to find a couple interesting statistics and do a write-up. As I prepared for class, and did my own skimming, I unsurprisingly gravitated towards information on us Mormons. Eventually, I got sucked in and did a “control/f” search of the 393 page document looking over every mention of us.
