At one point in the wide-ranging, nearly two-hour conversation, Lutnick also said that if Social Security “didn’t send out their checks this month,” his “mother-in-law, who’s 94, she wouldn’t call and complain.”
“She’d think something got messed up, and she’ll get it next month. A fraudster always makes the loudest noise, screaming, yelling and complaining,” the billionaire businessman said.
“Anybody who’s been in the payment system and the processes, who knows the easiest way to find the fraudster is to stop payments and listen, because whoever screams is the one stealing,” he said. “Because my mother-in-law’s not calling, come on, your mother, 80-year-olds, 90-year-olds, they trust the government.”
"People who live paycheck to paycheck? I don’t believe they exist. "
What are the poor landlords going to do when their entire retirement home is delinquent on rent? lol
What the FUCK???
They’re setting up the narrative so that when the public hears real people suffering, they ignore them.
This is bad. Really really bad.
It’s also an extremely long shot, isn’t it? Trying to convince people that old people won’t complain about things, and that they trust the government. That’s about as likely as trying to convince a Republican that they want a Tesla.
Our only saving grace is that they’re reeeally dumb sometimes.
I hope it’s a long shot. I hope people are smart enough to see through this.
But if people were able to see through the obvious lies by these Nazis, the USA wouldn’t be here now.
I see absolutely NO Downside to taking away people’s Social Security. It’s not like a LARGE chunk of them own TONS of Guns and are Desperate to use them!
“Because my mother-in-law’s not calling, come on, your mother, 80-year-olds, 90-year-olds, they trust the government.”
Literally anyone who is relying on those funds because they don’t have a pension or savings will be wondering where the fuck it is when it doesn’t get deposited on time.
It’s also laughable to suggest that old people trust the government en masse; a lot of those people were anti-government back in the day and probably didn’t change much. My own parents are nearly 70, they definitely don’t trust the government.
Only fraudsters would blindly trust any government.
I have been on disability for 13 years. My doctors and the SSA said I will never work again. I would complain about a missing SS check, but only, you know, until I couldn’t afford my medicine and died.
Dying is the point. This man wants you to die.
Oh I’m well aware. This is pretty much straight up Kill the Poor only without the satire.
Had I still lived there, I would have definitely not gone down alone if I was still on dialysis.
My complaint would definitely be quiet, and then very very loud for a brief moment again before being silent once more, is all I’ll say.
All the comments and upvotes seem to be fraudsters. Inb4 lemmy banned in USA.
