It looks like a mutant crab.
Mal: So we run. Nandi: I understand, Captain Reynolds. You have your people to think of, same as me. And this ain't your fight. Mal: Don't believe you do understand, Nandi. I said 'we run'. We.

A VERY COOL mutant crab, of course.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
mentioned that the problems with these programs stem partly from the relatively low fertility rates experienced since the Baby Boom, when he paused to editorialize "I think that’s called abortion."
the fuck?!?
I know he gives great budgeting advice, but that is seriously out of line. how about birth control, or women taking more control over decisions about having children - Or how about, the problem with the programs being that they depended on an ever increasing pool of people or at least a constant one contributing, and that was a bad model.

I know! He so rarely talks about stuff like that I was really taken aback by the offhandness of the comment. Of course, he doesn't really believe in govt-run social security, so that was just one problem (for me) in the bigger point he was trying to make.
ION, I guess some people still like to kick it old-school when it comes to comics: Records broken at Tintin auction

Did you know that they lower the cabin pressure to the equivalent of 10,000' once in orbit? It's because of how much pre-breathe of pure 02 prior to an EVA.

Our wings are not tired.
I don't like very many comic strips. The only ones I've actively sought out are Peanuts, Calvin & Hobbes and the old Groening "Life is Hell". That's it.

About the only thing I was reading in the Sun the last few months was the comics. I cancelled when I moved, and I don't even miss them.

Actually the idea that social security is trouble in nonsense. Know any other pension fund fully funded through 2030+ ? As to Medicare: sure it is trouble - just like the rest of the U.S. healthcare system. Medical costs have been growing faster than the rest of the economy. Of course that is unsustainable. If it went on forever, medical expenses would eventually be 100% of the economy. (Straight line extrapolation, and of course it won't happen. But still a good indication that the problem is not Medicare, but our health care system.)
