It doesn't need to be fixed it just needs to be thrown in the garbage.
The obvious solve is to just start over with a UBI system.
SS was invented when gold and silver were considered the actual money.
It was invented because you couldn't print money out of thin air.
None of the economic logic that SS was predicated upon has existed for generations.

Well, I happen to believe UBI is the way to go, so no argument from me there. I just don't think it's going to happen in my lifetime.
You're absolutely right.
In this computer age, just print all money directly into each person's account, and let it be equal per person. Whether or not a person pays into the system or not might simply enable a bonus, making it truly UBI for everyone, but with bonuses for those who contribute in different ways.
But I dunno - I'm just throwing ideas around.
