Actually those over 100 are in the 80,000-95,000 range.
So 44,000 drawing benefits is quiet reasonable considering the percentage of the population that pays into Social Security. But there are some workers that don’t pay into Social Security and draw pensons from other sources (Some State workers, railroad workers, etc.) or who don’t qualify for SS based on work history.
According to Grok there are about 100,000 in the US who are 100 or older.
As of 2024, the number of people aged 100 and older (centenarians) in the United States is estimated to be around 101,000, according to projections from the U.S. Census Bureau cited by the Pew Research Center. This figure is slightly lower than the United Nations’ estimate of 108,000 for the same year. The 2020 U.S. Census officially counted 80,139 centenarians, indicating a significant increase in recent years.
Principal Residence Misrepresentation: In August 2023, James signed a Specific Power of Attorney declaring her intent to make 604 Sterling Street in Norfolk, Virginia her “principal residence”—a legally binding statement that may have automatically vacated her position as NY Attorney General under Public Officers Law § 30. This declaration came just 45 days before she launched her landmark civil fraud case against Donald Trump. It also potentially constituted mortgage fraud under 18 U.S.C. § 1014, which criminalizes false statements made to obtain a loan.
true true, but again, who hasn’t lied to FHA to get a loan claiming there are 4 units on a building that has 5 because the FHA set some arbitrary limit of 4? Its not like she was adding SF, she subtracted a whole unit!
If Hochul had any sense of credibility she would ask for James’ resignation. But I’m of the opinion corrupt politicians like this especially a stronzo like “Big Tish”, she’s got dirt on others.
Going to be fun to watch.
