Best way to contact Social Security?

My Social Security office is closed for the pandemic. You can conduct business either by phone or online. I need to make a change to my benefits. Is it better to request this via telephone or online? Anybody with experience in this?

Was my dad wrong?

My dad fought in the Navy in WWII in the Pacific. He lost a lot of buddies during the war. When my siblings and I were growing up, we were not allowed to buy anything made in Japan (and their products were as ubiquitous then as Chinese products are today). One time, while attending his annual Tin Can Sailors reunion in Seattle, he and a cohort of veterans stepped off the elevator when a group of Japanese visitors got on. Was he wrong? Today he'd be considered a racist or bigot. But given his experience, were his actions excusable?
