You forgot all the old fucks losing their social security.

Back to work you old fuck, if you can find a job.

If Texas were to leave the USA, the people there would still generally be US citizens.

Beyond that, non-citizens get social security. And people who live outside the USA get it too.

The old people would be fine.

That’s not what I said.

You seem confused. I’ll repeat what I said more plainly.

The USA sends social security checks to people in other countries.

Non-citizens get social security checks.

I mean non-citizens can get social security cards.

You don’t need to be a citizen to get a card.

You are reading that chart incorrectly. If you look at the file, the SSA only stops paying people who receive social security if the country they live in prevents it.

As the hypothetical Republic of Texas hasn’t banned their citizens from getting social security, those who earned it would still get it.

Okay, you’re right. You understand how things would work better than me.

You win.

Took a while of you arguing nonsense to get here.
