One thing I've learned to do when I have questions about social security number holders who are age 100 or older is to look up the SSA Inspector General audit report, "Numberholders Age 100 or Older Who Did Not Have Death Information on the Numident." https://t.co/AdWTV8eIPV
According to the Social Security database, these are the numbers of people in each age bucket with the death field set to FALSE! Maybe Twilight is real and there are a lot of vampires collecting Social Security 🤣🤣

“DOE has spent more than half a billion dollars on carbon-capture projects at coal plants, and they all failed to come to fruition." - @J_I_Fisher @SierraClub. “That taxpayer money has simply been a handout to the fossil fuel industry, and it should stop.”
