## Resource

Anthony Morales in Texas got hit with bureaucratic chaos when Social Security sent him a condolence letter—thinking he was dead—only to find out he’s very much alive and still relying on his disability checks. For two months, his payments were stopped, forcing him to scramble, make four trips to the office, and fight just to prove he’s breathing. Now, after all that hassle, Social Security’s fast-tracking his case, promising his checks will be back in his account in 3–7 days. A wild, frustrating, and ultimately human story about systems failing—and one man refusing to stay down. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
