It can never collapse unless Congress votes to make it collapse. Even in the future once the trust fund is spent down, benefits will be reduced to what comes in from current workers. That's not the full amount but it will be something. I think something like 70%.

So it's not going to collapse unless you think that anything but full benefits is a collapse.

Wait how do you get a 1099A? It's just another IRS form. Like you can just print out a ton of them.

The first sentence makes it sounds like he has some and they're going to expire so he has to use them at some point soon.

I think he was trying to say there was no sales tax because he didn't register the truck or the trailer. There's no way he waived a piece of paper in front of the DMV and they said "oh yeah, you're totally exempt."

This will help you a bit to answer your own question: https://www.270towin.com/ You can play with scenarios there.

how much does she have to win by to flip the electoral college to her side?

This misunderstands how our elections work. If you win a state by one vote (offer not valid in Nebraska and Maine), you get all that state's electoral votes. If you flip several thousand votes in a few states, Trump wins the 2020 election even though Biden had around 7,000,000 more in the popular vote total. Also, if you're from the UK, Americans are a little idiosyncratic in their voting. A good deal of people do the equivalent of voting for a Tory even if they wanted Labour in power. It's called vote splitting, and it's generally a terrible idea.

No, he can just order members of Congress to be executed until they pass the law he wants.

Make money with this one weird trick by sending people paperwork they must fill out or else they owe you money. Accountants hate it!

Maybe on the weekends. I work during the week. Depends on if I could get flexible scheduling and HQ had Wi-Fi.

You've understated how much the RNC will simply become a Trump-family slush fund. Otherwise I think you're spot on.

Oddly enough, Ellis Hedican (the voice of Stormy) was a Fox News contributor and overall conservative back when the show first ran.
