Well there’s you’re problem! You’re disabled, so therefore unprofitable. It’s criminal that you have the ability to live while someone who could make profit for our corporate overlords might not. Shame on you for being a leech on society! (In case it wasn’t obvious, /S)
Disabled people have to jump through years of hoops for those payments.
Further, the top payout is around $750 a month and they aren’t allowed to generate any kind of income outside of that or they will lose it.
This means they can only afford to live in subsidized housing which can take years of being on a waiting list to access.
We pay them far less than subsistence level and many of them end up on the street because of it through no fault of their own.
For five years I gave change to an old man who begged for change while he waited for his name to come up on the housing availability list. He lived out his car the entire time up to that.
We do not pay them to live. We pay them and go “hope you can figure it out” and kick them to the street.
I’m referring to your comment about disabled people. I can’t imagine being such a piece of shit that I can’t see the value of anyone beyond what money they can bring in through physical labor. What a way to view the world.
Your comment “Disabled people are literally paid to be alive” heavily implies that you view disabled people as though they have no value at all, and are nothing but a drain on society. If I’ve misunderstood, please feel free to explain.

Disabled people are literally paid just to be alive.
Trying to paint reality as a hellish dystopia only works if you say true things.

If we subsidize their housing, we’re paying for their housing too.
We pay them to be alive, yes. You can argue we could pay them more, and id support that, but we very much pay them just to exist.

Jesus Christ, who hurt you?!
No one? I don’t understand the question

Well it’s a good thing I never implied anything of that sort.
You ok man?

Here’s how the conversation went:
person mentions having a disability
second person chimes in with “society has determined the disabled are useless and we do not care about you”
I say “that’s not true. We pay disabled people to live.”
you say “you’re a monster who doesn’t think disabled people have value”
I get very confused
I must have misinterpreted your intent, because to me you came across as incredibly cold and callous. Glad to hear that’s not the case.
