☆ A junk dealer found a painting in a basement. Experts say it’s an original Picasso

CNN —A painting discovered by a junk dealer in the basement of an Italian villa six decades ago is actually the work of Pablo Picasso and could sell for millions, according to experts. At just 24, Lo Rosso didn’t appreciate that the signature in the upper left corner of the artwork that read simply “Picasso” meant anything, his son Andrea Lo Rosso told CNN on Tuesday. The older Lo Rosso, who died in 2021, stuck it in a cheap frame and gave it to his wife — much to her chagrin, his son said. Finally, last month Cinzia Altieri, a graphologist for a patrimony court in Milan, was able to certify the Picasso signature as authentic. “I’m happy but let’s wait to toast, there is still one step to take before we consider this incredible story over,” Andrea Lo Rosso said.

Today, on average, Social Security benefits may replace about 40% of a person’s pre-retirement income assuming they start collecting benefits at their full retirement age. To be in those categories your earnings are often at or near the annual maximum income subject to the Social Security payroll tax. If you had to replace $24,000 in Social Security benefits, you might need a $600,000 portfolio. If you have no idea what Social Security benefits are promised to you under current law, get an official estimate based on your average career earnings to date from the Social Security Administration. Or …17% in 2035: The cut could be reduced and delayed until 2035 if the Social Security retirement trust fund is merged with its trust fund for disability benefits.

Russia's inability to repel long-range Ukrainian attacks is nothing new, though. Kyiv has relied heavily on locally produced drones to wage this campaign because it is restricted from using Western-provided missiles to strike Russian territory.
