Not really, just start collecting at 65, get a two-year head start. You are ahead of the game for 6 or 7 years. SS incentivizes waiting until age 70, hoping you will die before you collect a dime.
If you collect before full retirement you stay at that rate as long as you live.
Yup.
When your party regains any credibility, on any subject, then you might get people to listen to you.
The Forward Party is gaining credibility slowly. Maybe one day it will be enough to matter. Who knows. Sure beats the two fucked up "major" parties!

Full List of Social Security Offices Closing After DOGE Cuts
Recent federal initiatives from President Donald Trump and his administration have led to the closure of multiple Social Security offices, raising concerns about the accessibility of services for beneficiaries nationwide.
Newsweek reached out the Social Security Administration via email for comment.
Why It Matters
Trump, in collaboration with Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), has directed the General Services Administration (GSA) to terminate leases on approximately 7,500 federal offices, including those of the Social Security Administration (SSA).
The SSA is already struggling with staffing shortages. In testimony before Congress on March 21, 2024, former SSA Commissioner Martin O'Malley stated that by the end of FY 2024, the agency would serve 7 million more beneficiaries with 7,000 fewer full-time staff than in FY 2015. He warned that the SSA cannot "keep doing more with less," noting that budget constraints have left the agency at its lowest staffing level in 25 years. Combined with office closures, these shortages could worsen delays and limit critical services for beneficiaries.
