have you ever wanted to read 2k+ words on property taxes, and why some boomers are trying to get rid of them (and also how that might be not so great for schools, roads, etc)? boy do I have a story for you www.businessinsider.com/baby-boomers...

Social Security transfers are more crucial than ever.
Delays in payments risk seniors’ ability to meet essential needs. We can expect delayed payment of bills, reduced spending, and increased food/housing insecurity—especially in rural/vulnerable areas.
