Asteroid May Rescue Us From Social Security Collapse

The Social Security funds are expected to completely run out by 2037.  I guess it's a good thing Russian astronomers are predicting the possibly collision with an Earth-killing asteroid in 2036:
Russian astronomers have predicted that asteroid Apophis may strike Earth on April 13, 2036.

“Apophis will approach Earth at a distance of 37,000-38,000 kilometers on April 13, 2029. Its likely collision with Earth may occur on April 13, 2036,” Professor Leonid Sokolov of the St. Petersburg State University said.

The scientist said, however, the chance of a collision in 2036 was extremely slim saying that the asteroid would likely disintegrate into smaller parts and smaller collisions with Earth could occur in the following years.
That will be just three days after my 80th birthday. Not everybody gets an asteroid collision for their milestone birthdays.
