I spent 2.5 hours in the Social Security office today to get a replacement card.

You can't do it online if you are from Oklahoma because our state doesn't play well with others. What I noticed was how much that crowd of 100 or so looked like a Trump rally. The guy sitting next to me was lamenting that he could not get disability because of Obama and that he was voting for Trump because he understands. No sense arguing with stupid so I didn't.

I counted at least 12 Trump hats, and 3 or 4 dozen trump stickers in the parking lot. Just keep voting against your own interest people.

BTW only a handful were social security/medicare age 62 plus, the rest were 20, 30's and 40's.

I had a 21 year old patient with Medicare for his insurance. I asked what his disability was. Answer: I'm too nervous to work.

I'm not exactly a shut-in, but I've seen exactly one in the last year, apart from those sitting unsold on a table.
