If you make $100k, then your benefits would be reduced by $37,500. That’s about a full year’s benefit. If you make what Datlas likely makes, that means no benefit before full retirement age.
I was wrong, too. They deduct $1 for every $2 over the limit. Pretty sure that limit was $17k in 2019.

Well, yeah if you don't actually retire. If you do stop working then you get the full benefit.
