Ok so would you be happy to see wasteful spending in Australia fixed including limitations in gov systems / far left projects like DEI / media propaganda and so on yes or no

That"s a lie put in circulation by a retired cobol programmer. Nope, there is no issue with age calculation. Even if they still were how do you explain 60m more active accounts than the US population?


Don't trust everything you read on the internet without a source.


He was baiting the fake response here already

i trust a retired cobol programmer more than musk and his harem of 19 year old twinks who cant code

You don't trust 19 y/o alias "big ballz" with your social security number, tax records, employment history, medical history, etc etc feeding it into AI?

Really? Come on man, you gotta trust they're storing that data securely and safely somewhere, idk where but it surely wouldn't be broken into already...

Haha truth. Even better than their own doge site was left so easily open to hackers.

It's a lie and you just believe anything right wing figures tell you.
And yes Cobol has that error.

Trump and team right now are just tossing a thousand things out there right now, cut this, do this, buy this, annex this, stop this, just a bombardment of things.

This creates two things.

1) You have the die-hards and those so invested in him or so polarized they cant see straight believing everything is happening as its said, not actually knowing if anything followed through, Presidential power and Executive Committee only goes so far hence why we have seen so many things blocked already. But it does not matter if those things actually happen or went through because he's created the power of belief for those people so they already think it has and its as good as done and it's an accomplishment.

2) You have the die hards and polarized people who cant see straight on the opposite side who have no idea how to react to ten thousand things at once to create any type of coherent rebuttal and news agencies are bouncing like ping pong balls all over the place trying to keep up with all the outlandish stuff.

Or that's how it looks from a non-american looking in. It just looks like an intentional clusterfuck.

A bit of history. On May 20, 1875 a bunch of countries got together to create the International Bureau of Weight and Measures which established uniform standards of mass and length. Later on, the Bureau established rules for dates as well. The dates standard used a starting date of May 20 1875 to honor the creation of the Bureau.

Old versions of COBOL use that date as a baseline. Social Security’s computers use that old version. Dates are stored as the number of days AFTER May 20 1875.

So what happens if Social Security doesn’t know a birthdate? That field is empty in its records. Thus that person appears to have a birthday of May 20 1875—about 150 years ago.

Still doesn't explain 60 million more active social security numbers compared to the number of living Americans.
