7 Social Security and Medicare Quirks That Can Trip You Up

 

Our ‘collective’ rage

We are at war with ourselves. We are angrier about politics than we used to be. Is it because of conspiracy theories? No. We have had them since Sam Adams proclaimed that the British Empire literally wanted to enslave white Americans. Conspiracy theories that followed targeted the Bavarian Illuminati, the Masons, Catholics, East Coast bankers, a global Jewish cabal, and so on. Are social media responsible for our collective rage? No, social media didn’t cause political polarization. A large study showed that people were much more likely to share posts from news organizations or members of Congress that referred to their political out-group—i.e., the opposite party. Maybe we’ve all gotten angrier as a natural reaction to things getting worse. There’s simply very little evidence that the American public has become less happy about its concrete material condition. It wasn’t until Fox News was up and running that we started to see permanent changes in the electorate. Trump taught HALF of all Americans to hate their government and the liberals who ran it. It was Trump on Fox News that fired up the evangelicals to settle for nothing less than complete destruction of the deep-state pedophiles. It is Fox News that has torched the American political system over the past two decades, and it is Fox News that we have to continue to fight.

7 Social Security and Medicare Quirks That Can Trip You Up

If did not enroll in SS benefits during the initial enrollment period, you need to start Medicare by going directly to do so. Part B enrollment can be delayed; Part A (hospital) is automatic when you begin SS benefits. You can’t contribute to HAS if you begin Medicare. Additional charges (IRMAA) reduce benefits if your income is too high. Poorly planned RMDs can force higher taxes. If you are married, your income may determine your spousal benefits. Delayed benefits past age 70 are not increased. Visit your local SS office in order to get the proper information about you and your spouse benefit amounts.

Broker Bad Behavior

Broker asks YOU for a loan. Beware promissory notes—without accredited buyer—could be fraud. Advisors who use emails or text may be in violation of firm oversight rules. Transfers directly to broker or advisor accounts may be fraud—using personal account not the firm’s account. Sellers request that they become your beneficiary. Always check a seller’s past on BrokerCheck. Insurers use tricks to increase annuity sales.

Our Universe is Mind-Blowing

Light is both a particle and a wave depending on how we look at the light.

I don’t think that there is any such thing as a position or a velocity of a particle.

Everything (galaxies to stones) in universe made of subatomic energy ‘vibrations’

A subatomic ‘particle’ is the smallest possible vibration (quantum) of a quantum field.

A ‘particle’ is an event; not an objective thing. This event is set of complex relationships.

 

Mass–energy equivalence: E=mc^2.  At the smallest level; Everything is moving

Energy into matter: scientists converted light energy directly into matter in one step

In place of atomic lattice, light waves used to create an optical lattice with same geometry

Physics Nobel Prize: “entanglement” 2 particles share info instantly at a distance

Quantum mechanics violates local realism: two objects behave as single system at distance

 

“It may be that gravity and quantum mechanics are exactly the same thing,” Leonard Susskind

Gravity might induce the collapse of quantum vibrations into 1 quantum state—our world

Strange state of physics that allows energy to flow frictionlessly through a material

Bending light from extreme gravity reveals largest black hole so far

Curved SpaceTime: heavy masses and simultaneously quantum effects become visible

There is no TIME at this level because of force fields come and go in all directions. 

Universe expanding: events may not come together like they did before: created our time.

Our planetary system: rarest system: only 1% of all systems with same number of planets

 

Stars fueled by the self-annihilation of dark matter might have been spotted for the first time by JWST

Inside protons, neutrons, it is the fields of the virtual particles that creates its mass.

Gold made from neutron stars: collisions produce more neutrons:79 protons,118 neutrons

The proton is so complicated science still finds new energy entities/forces every year.

 

“Empty space is a boiling, bubbling brew of virtual particles that pop in and out of existence in a time scale so short that you can’t even measure them.” Space expanding.

New method to study systems with long-range interactions: previously puzzling experts

The electricity we use comes from the field around the wire not from electron itself.

 

Scientists build 'baby' wormhole as sci-fi moves closer to fact: inside quantum computer

Physicists knew black holes eventually disappear particle by particle. Now they think everything else does, too.
