The Thrawn book trilogies are probably the closest I've found to Star Wars being sci fi. There is a specific focus on real world physics in a way that is very absent from everything else Star Wars especially when they write about space battles. Only things that stay firmly fantasy and require that suspension of disbelief are, of course, the Force and Thrawns preternatural ability to read an enemy's battle tactics from their species artwork

Increasing social security taxes would be very unpopular, increasing the age for retirement would be very unpopular. There's no way to reduce the amount of money social security costs without pissing a lot of people off.

The obvious solution to the problem is to make more citizens out of people who want to work here and benefit from everything our taxes pay for. Even aside from how much they would be paid (which should be a fair honest wage) the taxes off the top would go up faster than social security costs as long as people kept coming in and costs stayed stagnant

I had the same thought for a while, then I started playing dnd and subsequently DMing. Now any extra mental bandwidth I did have goes to solving open-ended people problems my players give me while we're playing.

Side benefit is I've felt more empathetic and patient with people since starting because I have to constantly put myself in a character's head when we're role-playing. I imagine that makes one seem more personable and cool to be around possibly helping with the unemployment too

You houseproof the dog at that point

Why does a larger loop mean better results?

On one hand I want a series of hurricanes to rip across the state making florida a barely livable swampland for a few months to perhaps shake people out of apathy and get the property investors out of the fucking housing market down here. On the other I'd like it if I could insure the imaginary house that I can somehow afford after I win the lottery please...
