Currently, workers pay Social Security tax on only the first $168,600 in wages received each year. That number is adjusted for inflation every year.
And benefits are tied directly to the amount contributed. Raising the maximum tax would also raise the max benefit paid, and would do absolutely nothing to improve the finances.

with dimming hopes for a cease-fire deal
If the Palestinians were to kill or capture the remaining members of Hamas, secure the surviving hostages, the approach the Israelis offering to release the hostages and turn over Hamas, I'm pretty sure they'd get a cease-fire pretty quickly.

This is why you should always buy an unlocked, dual SIM phone. Use one SIM slot for your usual carrier, and buy a second SIM in whatever country you’re visiting.

I’m sorry, but if I were to kill someone in a negligent discharge I’d certainly have an emotional reaction. I’d expect nothing else from Baldwin.
As in most fatal accidents, there were multiple failures in safety protocols, some by Baldwin and some by others, both before and after the handgun was placed in his hand.
And as Baldwin pulled the trigger, the ultimate failure was his.
But that he had an emotional reaction afterwards doesn’t change my opinion in the slightest. It has no bearing on the actions or failures to act that led to this tragedy.
