     @nazgul Based on the replies, I'm afraid people don't realize the deadly seriousness.

     Elon Musk has directed DOGE to replace the 60 million lines of COBOL code running Social Security within a few months.

     This can't be done. Not with AI, not with thousands of human programmers. It's really a plan to cut/eliminate Social Security.

     I should hope it goes without saying that people will die as a result.

     That's the COBOL code we're talking here. Social Security.
