How does Vacuum or Suction Excavation Work?

Vacuum excavation operates through a truck-mounted system which includes a vacuum pump, debris tank, and several hoses. The process begins by identifying the excavation site, and after marking it the vacuum excavation equipment begins operating by utilizing a high-pressured air lance to break up the soil. As the soil is removed, the hidden utilities are revealed and can be visually examined, the loosened soil and debris are then vacuumed up through a big hose into a skip which is mounted on to the Vac-Ex machine for disposal or later reuse.

The excavated area is left neat and tidy, prepared for further examination or installation. This method allows our operators to conduct excavation work near buried utilities, and other sensitive areas with caution, minimizing the risk of damages.

Advantages of Vacuum Excavation

There are multiple benefits to vacuum excavation.

  • Enhanced Safety – by revealing underground utilities without inflicting damage, vacuum excavation significantly reduces the risk of accidents and utility strikes, ensuring the safety of workers and the existing infrastructure in the vicinity. Also, its capacity for customized digging with minimal area disruption.
  • Increased Efficiency – sticking to strict deadlines, reducing costs by quickly revealing buried utilities and streamlining the excavation process. Its eco-friendliness means it generates minimal noise, disruption, and dust relative to older techniques, decreasing its ecological footprint.

Proposed Cuts to Social

You may have heard by now that there are proposed cuts to Social Security and are not sure if this true or not, well, unfortunately, it is actually true.

Social Security is in trouble.

Before diving into the who’s and what’s of these proposed cuts to Social Security it must be stated that something needs to be done really soon as the program is in big trouble on paper.

Since 2018 the part of the Social Security program that provides retirement benefits (OASI) is and will be running at a loss each and every year.

This means that the amount of benefits that the OASI is providing to retirees is greater than the amount of money that the program brings in.

To provide some clarity on this huuuuge problem:

In 2018, according to the Trustees of Social Security:

  • The Total cost to provide benefits within the OASI program = $853.4 million.
  • Total revenue for that year = $831.0 million.

There is an obvious shortfall of $22 million and the problem is not getting better, in fact the gap between benefits verse revenue is widening.

By 2022, according to the Trustees, the problem became:

  • The total cost to provide benefits within the OASI program =. $1, 097.5 billion
  • Total revenue for the year = $1, 056.7 billion.

The shortfall grew to $40.8 million in just 4 years and, again, the problem is growing larger annually.

The Trustees of Social Security, in its 2023 Annual Report, is reporting that:

  1. The costs to run the program are going to inflate by over 6.40%
  2. The revenue to provide benefits is only going to grow by 4.90%.

At these rates by 2032 the shortfall for the OASI part of Social Security will be $428.3 billion!

This is why the media is reporting that by 2032 the Social Security program may become insolvent.

Is Social Security really going broke?

What are the current proposed cuts to Social Security?

The Social Security Administration has 9 proposals for cuts to the program which all begin by the end of 2024 and they are:

1st Proposal: Reduce the annual COLA by 1 percentage point.

  • This option will decrease Social Security benefits for retirees.

2nd Proposal: Reduce the annual COLA by 0.5 percentage point.

  • Like Option #1, this proposal will decrease Social Security benefits for retirees. The only difference is the decrease will be half of Option #1.

3rd Proposal: Compute the COLA using a chained version of the consumer price index for wage and salary workers (CPI-W).

  • The Social Security cost of living adjustment (COLA) uses the 3rd Quarter monthly averages of the Consumer Price Index for Workers (CPI-W).
  • Social Security takes the averages of these 3 months in the 3rd Quarter and compares them to the previous year’s 3rd Quarter.
  • If the average is greater than the previous year, then there will be a COLA for those receiving benefits.
  • Chained Weighted CPI-W is a more accurate average where certain averages are disregarded if they are not in the norm.
  • This proposal will decrease benefits going forward.

4th Proposal: Compute the COLA using a chained version of the consumer price index for wage and salary workers (CPI-W) but start it in 2026 instead of 2024.

  • This proposal will decrease Social Security benefits for retirees, but will start 2 years later.

5th Proposal: Add 1 percentage point to the annual COLA for beneficiaries who have lived past a “specified age”.

  • It appears that only certain retirees who are a certain age and older will receive a COLA going forward.
  • This proposal may lower benefits across the board for retirees, but the good news, those retirees who reach the specific age may receive a COLA that would be higher than before.

6th Proposal: Compute the COLA using the Consumer Price Index for the Elderly (CPI-E).

  • The CPI-E tracks the expenses specifically for Americans who are 62 years of age or older.
  • Historically this Index is much lower than what the Social Security Administration uses and may lead to lower Social Security benefits for retirees.

Medicare 2024 IRMAA Brackets: Amounts

By the way there is no language that would stop the IRMAA Brackets from going down if the CPI-U would actually deflate from year to year.

In terms of the all the Thresholds within the IRMAA Brackets, due to the passing of the Bi-Partisan Budget Act of 2018 the 5th Threshold in the IRMAA Brackets will not adjust for inflation until 2028.

What is IRMAA:

IRMAA is short for medicare’s Income Related Monthly Adjustment Amount which is according to the Code of Federal Regulations:

“An amount that you will pay for your Medicare Part B and D coverage when your modified adjusted gross income is above the certain thresholds.”

IRMAA is a tax on your income through Medicare Part B and Part D coverage if you have too much income while in retirement.

Will you actually enter IRMAA:

According to the 2022 Medicare Board of Trustees Report, currently, there are over 6.8 million people in IRMAA. These people in IRMAA make up 16.63% of all eligible Medicare beneficiaries.

By 2031, according to recent reports the number of people in IRMAA will double to 13.8 million eligible people in IRMAA.

IRMAA is a revenue generator for both the Medicare and social Security programs.

For the Medicare program, IRMAA is an added cost that the person in it must pay. This added cost provides more money each year for the program.

As for Social Security, according to Congress, all IRMAA Costs are automatically deducted from any Social Security benefit a person is receiving. Thus, for those who enter IRMAA, Social Security has to pay out less to them which reduces that program’s obligation to pay benefits.

With both Medicare and Social Security projected by the government to be insolvent (unable to pay) in less than 8 years the easiest way to save these programs is to make sure more people are in IRMAA.

How do you reach an IRMAA bracket:

IRMAA is all about your Modified Adjusted Gross Income (MAGI).

The more of it you have the higher the chances that you have to reaching IRMAA while having less of an MAGI reduces the chance of you reaching IRMAA.

What counts towards your MAGI:

According to Social Security your MAGI is the total of your adjusted gross income (AGI) and any tax-exempt interest you may have.

Both of these can be found on lines 2a and 11 of your 2022 IRS tax form 1040.

  • Utility-Scale: Large-scale solar farms selling power to the grid and achieving profitability over long-term operations.

Solar Energy vs. Traditional Energy Costs

When compared to traditional energy sources, solar power often presents a favorable economic case. While the initial investment is higher, the long-term savings on energy bills and the absence of fuel costs make solar energy financially attractive.

The Future of Solar Energy Economics

With ongoing technological advancements and increasing efficiency of solar panels, the costs are expected to continue to decline. Additionally, as environmental policies tighten and the cost of traditional energy sources rises, solar energy’s economic appeal is likely to grow further.

Conclusion

The economics of solar energy is a dynamic and promising field. With decreasing costs, attractive ROI, and various financial incentives available, solar energy is increasingly becoming a sound investment for individuals and businesses alike.

These stories leave a perpetual mark on Palm Springs, an emblem of diversity and acceptance. The roots of this lively collective owe their flourishing to a variety of mysterious forces coming together harmoniously. Paramount among these was the seductive climate of Palm Springs and its dreamy surroundings. It served as a sanctuary from the prejudices faced by the LGBTQ+ community in other parts of the country. Here, an array of souls sought a community where they could be genuinely themselves, and in the process, formed profound bonds.

In tandem, during the mid-twentieth century, Palm Springs became a desired retreat for the crème de la crème of Hollywood – a crucial time that saw the nurturing of the LGBTQ+ community. As luminaries from the entertainment world sought solace in this desert haven, Palm Springs also became synonymous with the famed gay bathhouse culture. These glitzy personalities and institutions fostered an environment of acceptance and friendship, paving the way for future LGBTQ+ generations to find a welcoming home amidst the city’s palm-lined streets. The legacy of these pioneering times continues to influence Palm Springs, making it a global symbol of inclusion and acceptance, beckoning travelers from all walks of life.

Palm Springs’ history as a refuge for LGBTQ+ individuals is deeply etched in its cultural DNA. In the constrained era of the 1930s, when much of society shrouded homosexuality, Palm Springs stood as an outlier, welcoming those in search of acceptance. Drawn to its charm, Hollywood elites made their homes here, signaling a silent protest against societal norms.
