No, no, no. I'm pretty sure it's a moving target for the date benefits get reduced. It will be reduced the month after I retire, I'm pretty damn sure anyway.........Just so happens that's about the date I max out on my benefits......Bastards!NOT my words but the TRUSTEES! For once do a little simple reading....
Payments to be cut 23% after 2034!
Well you are definitely NEW to this..Yeah, to may links. Narrow it down a little, make your point that is supported by a link or two.
Are you new?
How do similes and metaphors differ? Similes are indirect comparisons that use the word “like” or “as.” Metaphors are direct comparisons that state one thing is another. Metaphor is the broader of the two terms—it encompasses a range of comparisons, from sentences to entire works. Simile vs. Metaphor: What’s the Difference?I don't need to. A metaphor is basically the same as a simile but is a direct comparison.
For example, my fingers are like sausages, is a simile but if I said my fingers are sausages, that is a metaphor.
My wife taught me that.
Yeah. Simile vs metaphor, that is exactly what I said in my own words. Did you not read it?Well you are definitely NEW to this..
Check out below for the facts...

Biden said Tuesday night 2/7/23 State of the Union speech..
Biden said oil executives he’d pressed on the issue had told him bluntly: “We’re afraid you’re going to shut down all of the oil wells and all the oil refineries anyway so why should we invest in them?”
Biden offered his answer Tuesday night. “We’re going to need oil for at least another decade,” he said, quickly adding, “and beyond that,” after boos from some lawmaker
Biden Goes Off-Script to Concede Oil Demand Will Last for Years
President Joe Biden went off-script during an otherwise climate-friendly State of the Union speech Tuesday night to acknowledge an uncomfortable reality for the White House: “We’re still going to need oil and gas for a while.”www.bloomberg.com
Yet when running for president in 2019 Biden guarantees this will happen!
"I want you to look into my eyes, I guarantee We Are Going To Get Rid of Fossil Fuels”
So Joe are you doing what this governor in the movie "Best Little Whorehouse in Texas"..dancing the Sidestep?
The Governor : [singing] Ooh, I love to dance the little sidestep / Now they see me, now they don't / I've come and gone / And ooh, I love to sweep around a wide step / Cut a little swath / And lead the people on!
Oh for sure. And that is why Biden, and all but 5 other presidents were politicians first.One of the great scenes dealing with politicians. Charles Durning was a great character actor. And he also was great in an early NCIS TV episode.
Yep, use to be 2040, the it was 2037, now it's down to 2034. But as fate will have it, it will become insolvent as soon as I retire.......Well you may be sure, but the Trustees are the ones that make the decisions. They are the ones that will determine your payments.
And guess why my (I get SS!) is 8.5% MORE this year than last year?Yep, use to be 2040, the it was 2037, now it's down to 2034. But as fate will have it, it will become insolvent as soon as I retire.......

So the Oil industries CEO have been price gouging the entire country for two fucking years. Huh, and to think all those analysts who said it was the covid bubble when the OPEC+ Nation cut production and tightened the oil market after the bottom dropped out of the oil market, there were wrong and some partisan hack on the internet is right. Wrong.Gas/diesel prices over 50% more than we've had to pay and the reason why gas/diesel prices have gone up?
Dumb ass comments that gave the fossil fuel industry excuse to RAISE prices.
What is confusing about this statement by experts...not amateurs?Yeah. Simile vs metaphor, that is exactly what I said in my own words. Did you not read it?

How do similes and metaphors differ?
As is wont with neophytes like you that are subjective and based on personal experiences ONLY.
- Similes are indirect comparisons that use the word “like” or “as.”
- Metaphors are direct comparisons that state one thing is another.
YOU DID NOT SAY EXACTLY that!
YOU said.." A metaphor is basically the same as a simile "
Now the above is very specific illustration as I provided the link is specific states: "similes and metaphors DIFFER!
They are different not as you personally and subjective said "basically the same"! YOU are so wrong!
Simile vs. Metaphor: What’s the Difference?
Have you ever heard someone use the word “literally” and thought, “They can’t really mean literally.” There were not…
Having been on this forum for 12 years longer than you... I'm not going to try to improve your obvious lack of awareness of differences but
I'm pointing out that age old adage...'The devil is in the details' ...often attributed to the German/American architect Ludwig Mies Van Der Rohe.

See unlike YOU, I provide readers links to what I quote as I don't assume I know everything as neophytes like you exhibit.
But you are inaccurate. You said they are the same. Experts not you say they are not!Did you see the example in my post?
"For example, my fingers are like sausages, is a simile but if I said my fingers are sausages, that is a metaphor."
Is that not the distinction you yourself used?
Similes and metaphors are the same, they are comparisons, except that metaphors are a direct comparison...just like in my example above.
Are you still confused?
Yep. Just like I said. Thanks.But you are inaccurate. You said they are the same. Experts not you say they are not!
Now the above is very specific illustration as I provided the link is specific states: "similes and metaphors DIFFER!
Why would the below experts clearly show "metaphor VS simile"!
That means they ARE different!
Simile vs. Metaphor: What’s the Difference?
Wow! I am now confident that ACCORDING to you... the Sky appears blue at night and black during the day.Yep. Just like I said. Thanks.
Exactly what I was thinking.Wow! I am now confident that ACCORDING to you... the Sky appears blue at night and black during the day.
That Black is white and white is black. Right is wrong and wrong is right. Obviously you disagree with these experts..
How do similes and metaphors differ?
Similes are indirect comparisons that use the word “like” or “as.”
Metaphors are direct comparisons that state one thing is another.
But you think they are exactly the same. Reality is contrary to your subjective opinion .. Similes are indirect ...metaphors are direct comparisons.
Big difference! Perfect example:
Simile: Most readers think you are acting like a idiot.
Metaphor: Most readers think you are an idiot!
