    I’m really interested to see any reputable articles confirming this. Google searches didn’t show anything, 1 press conference on Reddit, 1 instagram post

      You’re going to see a lot of news stories falling through the cracks in our modern Trump-friendly media landscape.

        For those experiencing the same confusion as myself: those are not sources for the orphan/survivor benefits story, they’re possible reasons why the media might not be reporting the story.

      It’s stopping direct loans applications by people under 18, nothing about actual payments. When are dumb fucks going to learn Tweets aren’t sources?

      I’m so glad the leftist plan to beat the right is be as completely critically illiterate as they are. Just cede the movement to the maniacs now because once the conspiracy theorists take root it’s a short stroll to leftist QAnon

        I agree 100%. We need to move past believing things just because they got our world view.

        I’m also interested in verifying this. Unfortunately, the article you linked to references young people getting sba loans not social security payments. It then repeats old news about very old people getting social security benefits.

          IIRC the “150 year olds” in those records has to do with how computers handle dates post Y2K. I remember some programmers chiming in when that story broke. It’s not actually fraud but a fix to handle certain pre 1980 dates in older computer systems.

          Yes that’s why I specified direct loans in my comment
