Inspire me with confidence.


I attended wclp.org/taskforce/BayLegal.pdf last Friday and boy, are my arms ever tired.

In brief:

1. Increased Cost of Living Allowance is threatened
2. $1.5 Billion in reduced benefits in next year’s SSA budget
3. ALJ backlog has been increasing for the past 6 or 7 years. They plan to remedy this by making applying for an ALJ hearing nearly impossible. And by training an army of stainless steel robot rats with glowing red eyes to adjudicate disability. And by switching over to video-conferenced ALJ hearings based in Falls Church, VA. This will increase efficiency!
There’s more stuff in the handouts that I brought back—most of it relates to ALJ level and beyond. I’m leaving the handouts on the table, I guess. Approach cautiously.

I had to go to the studio over the weekend to clear out some space in my storage area for the phone company. They're installing fiber optic cable.

(That *is* the punch line.)

It was nice to see Steb & Andreas.
