Ohio?
I visited a distant relative in Ohio once and his large backyard garden soil was the richest most luscious soil I have ever seen. Like something out of a movie or a fairy tale. He told me the soil there was like that going down 30 feet.

Social Securiry benefits are paid out based in how much you earned during your working years.
These benefits cap out at a certain limit. Accordingly, the social security taxes also cap out at a certain limit. Beyond that income you do ‘t get any higher Social Security benefits and you don’t pay any higher Social Security taxes.
This is because Social Security is not designed to be a progressive tax like the income tax is.
Our tax system overall should be more progressive. Maybe social security should be part of that. But it was never designed to do this.

With a lot of things:
You start off with no knowledge, and it’s a big mystery.
You gain some knowledge and feel like you have understanding.
You gain a lot more knowledge and you learn how much more there is that isn’t known.
The President is either at stage 1 or stage 3, take your pick.

Large News orgs like the NY Times and kind of indie news like The Intercept have official encrypted channels for sending tips. I would send to 2-3 large news orgs, maybe a half dozen small ones. Tell all of them the whole thing will be dumped on Twitter in some time period so they should rush to get ahead of it.
