I agree that woke is a problem. However, I believe in every problem there is a solution we just have to identify the problem at it's simplest terms, the lowest common denominator. Social security it's most basic of problems is that it needs funding. When it was started we had 160 workers to a retiree. Now we have 2.9 workers to a retiree.
The median income is 80610k social security tax tops out at 176k if you make more than that you don't pay social security tax over that amount. The average retiree on social security draws 24k a year. So if we round the 2.9 up to 3 people paying in at the median income social security brings in 30k for workers to retiree ratio. I am of course just simplifying here just for a idea of the math. However, once we figure in the cost to administer social security and labor we are clearly at a deficit.
The problem with woke is it has demonized the largest carrier of burdens and costs in this country. It has demonized the male. We can read articles daily how many males have given up and are sitting out the job market, taking low paying jobs so they can pay life's basic cost and spend their days gaming. Men checking out of marriage a general lose of ambition no desire for upward mobility.
The Trump admin has got that one correct as in the days prior to the big beautiful bill they were saying they wanted work requirements for certain benefit programs. Which they specifically named men sitting on mom's couch as a problem.
Not sure if you are a father but I would say all fathers or at least the vast majority. They will play or wrestle with their sons and will allow their sons to win a certain amount of these engagements. A few years ago now I ran across a study of rats and the behavior between sons and fathers. They found that when they would play with their sons they would let them win a certain percentage of engagements. I don't recall what the percentage was but they also found that if the sons did not win at a certain percentage they give up and would just roll over when it came to play time.
I find it is the same for us human males we can lose so much we give up and don't even try anymore. I believe that is what woke has done to the male population. However, with that said I find that work requirements has a good chance of turning that around. Work for us males is one thing we can and do take pride in it is an area of our life where we can feel like a winner. It also builds camaraderie. When I was in the service my unit we had our own motto, if it don't suck we don't do it. Camaraderie does that it can elevate moral and allow you to know you are not in this alone.
So all that to say my hope is as more people have to now work for certain benefits that there becomes a pride instilled in working with your hands, friendship and loyalty built. I truly hope it for males so that they will begin to feel pride and feel like a winner and get boldness to try harder more challenging endeavors in life. I believe solving this problem will also begin to solve the problem with funding social security. Also with any luck it kills off the lies and destruction that woke has inflicted upon our country.

I was bookmarked at #3013 to catch up on the conversation carrying a backdrop of a recent contemplation of "the image" of the beast. It had occurred to me that the false profit [sic] causes to worship 'the image' of the beast, and not necessarily the beast itself. Jesus is the 'express' image of the Father. That is, God and His Word are one. That's what Trump has been capitalizing on. What he says is what the people actually get. But, on the other hand, such as Obama's flowery words were instrumental in promoting 'the image' of the beast, it's all image, which is all image with no real substance. If he had promoted the actual beast, then no one would have worshiped it. This works the same way with marring express images in order to promote false images to those who want to put their faith in them. They want to believe the 'good' and shut their ears to the truth. They want to believe the lie for the truth, so they have to call the truth the lie so, I don't know what can be done about that other than standing in reality. The bright side is that these days will be shortened or everyone would be lost. And perhaps because that everyone is not lost (as the beast would like us to be) is exactly why.
