Yesterday’s Poll Results - If you could experience life in an alternate reality, what would it be like?
Unsurprisingly, a Utopian society where peace and harmony prevail was the runaway winner with over 60% of the vote!
Thanks to everyone who voted and commented!
Best of the Comments:
“It was hard for me to pick between exploring space and a Utopian civilization, but I've wanted to colonize the moon or some other planet/moon since childhood. (I'm 73 now — too old for the planned moon occupation.)”
“A historical period in the past, but not necessarily a person of power”
“It would be so wonderful if everyone could live peacefully without all the hatred, bigotry and violence just to name a few in todays world. ”

Social Security When A Spouse Dies: Survivor Benefits Guide
Losing a spouse is one of the most stressful events you can go through. In addition to the emotional turmoil and grief, you’ll also have to figure out finances. When a spouse dies, the surviving spouse is eligible to receive survivor benefits from the Social Security Administration (SSA). In this article, we’ll go over the rules and exceptions for receiving these benefits and enable you to build a plan for your survivors benefits.
Social Security work credits are based on your total yearly wages or self-employment income. You get one credit quarterly for every $1,470 dollars you earn in 2021, and you can earn up to four credits. Most people make more than $5,880 a year, but four credits is the maximum applied to Social Security benefits. You accumulate benefits your entire working life until you reach full retirement age (between age 66 and 67, depending on when you were born), or FRA. You can start collecting benefits before your full retirement age, but they’ll be reduced.
LONGEVITY TIP OF THE DAY
Envision a good longer life — “When we ask people how long they expect to live, people tend to look to whatever ages their parents lived to, and that’s how long they think they’re going to live. That’s not a good measure anymore,” psychologist Laura Carstensen says. Her frustration is that although we’ve added 30 years to our life expectancy, we’ve merely tacked them on to the end. She wants people to think about 90- and 100-year lives now, and make plans that take advantage of those extra 30 years throughout their lives. Pick up a new sport at 40, go back to school at 50, start a new career at 60.

Why America isn't as divided as we think, according to data
Here's a wild thought experiment: What if we've been deceived into thinking we're more divided, more dysfunctional and more defeated than we actually are?
Why it matters: Well, there's compelling evidence we've been trapped in a reality distortion bubble — social media, cable TV and tribal political wars — long enough to warp our view of the reality around us.
