Now he's signaling he's coming for Social Security

"Social Security runs on COBOL, which does not use a date or time type. So the date is stored as a number using the ISO 8601 standard. The epoch for this is 150 years (1875), aka the metre standard.

So if you don't know the date of something it will be a 0 value, which in COBOL will default to 1875 > 150 years ago.' (Response to Don Jr and Musk saying there's people over 150 years old collecting Social Security)

In a nutshell, these guys are looking for gotcha headlines to justify their intrusions but the gotchas are telling more about their own lack of experience than they are of our institutions and any fraud that is happening.
