The sad truth about Musk & Trump's scheme to cut SS benefits by crippling access (closing offices, no phone service, etc.) is that those most effected are also the very ones least able to protest. Rural retirees, those without access to Internet, people reliant on public transportation, folks with food insecurity, elderly with mobility problems -- they can't afford the time, money, and effort to protest. They are all easy prey for these kinds of backdoor reductions in earned benefits.
I guess we'll have to take a lesson from a paraphrased Dr. Seuss: "I am the Lorax. I speak for the retirees. Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It's not."
