What makes you think that? Do you have specific examples? I have heard that it is difficult, but maybe what I heard was wrong.

Have you looked at the data on retired police, firefighters, transpo workers, parks & rec workers and military?

There are also white collar attorneys who follow suspected disability fraud cases and have loads of photos, evidence of no disability and cases.

Another group of people went after the disabled around 85 years ago or so.
Scapegoating the less fortunate seems to be a pastime some on this forum enjoy as much as they did. Posts dripping with so much disdain it seems like satire.
You know what they say about history not repeating but rhyming.
The other name doesn’t even have to be used anymore, MAGA means the same thing.

Plumbers, electricians, construction, mechanics, and the list you provided are all jobs that happen to share certain distinguishing features. See if you can figure them out.

Yet those private sectors don’t have 80% of retirees filing for disability benefits for life. The public sector has the disability juggernaut going.

Most of the people I know at work who are severely disabled also have massive resources that allow them to work — i.e., caregivers who come to work with them, fully-outfitted vans, excellent health insurance, etc.

I can’t believe we’re at a point in our country where we’re turning on the disabled community. My former nonprofit job focused on the disability community and it was eliminated because this administration determined the goals were no longer aligned with this administration’s. All of a sudden it’s DEIA. When did people with disabilities become your enemy?

The same people who say “just get a job” are the same ones cheering on the cancellation of funding of programs that were designed to assist in employing people with disabilities.

I’m not shocked the GOP and rich are turning on the disabled population bc they don’t give a flying F about anyone. I continue to be shocked by how they convince poor and middle class white people to turn on all these different class of people (teachers, union workers, disabled) so they don’t turn on rich/ruling class.

Because Democrats have so bastardized the disability requirements that merely being a cross-dressing male makes a person eligible for disability. You'd be shocked by the utterly frivolous lifestyle choices that make a person eligible for disability as Democrats have expanded the criteria over and over again.

Who knew that Democrats made cross-dressing men eligible for disability?

The corruption of the Democrat Party of Death and Destruction is worse than anyone can imagine.

You are in DC. You see the remfs. The Military people who work in comfy offices.

You don’t see the actual combat veterans who are broken by their service.

Cue: “my husband, my bil, my neighbor’s husband, he has been in the Reserve for 19 years and he’s ok! And he deployed to the United Arab Emirates for 6 months!! It was shockingly horrible and he made it through ok!”

Do you know how many Military members cycled in and out of IRQ and AFG for decades?

I doubt you do, and if you do, I doubt you care.

No one cares.

That guy gets paid by democratic pacs.

Popular left-wing blogger Brooklyn Dad hits back after it’s revealed he was paid by Democratic party

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/brooklyn-dad-democrat-super-pac-influencer-b1815391.html


Majid Padellan pointed out that his Twitter profile states he is a senior adviser to ReallyAmerican.com, and thanked his followers for standing up for him in the face of criticism from the left and progressives.

According to a vendor recipient profile on OpenSecrets.org, Mr Padellan received a total of $57,088 in 13 payments from the Really American PAC between 13 July 2020 and 24 December 2020.

So what? Republican pundits also get paid to share opinions. Right wing twitter trolls get rewarded with a portion of the site’s ad revenues. Your pearl clutching is funny.

No, you posting a left wing twitter troll who is paid by democratic pacs to post photoshopped pictures is funny.

That wasn’t me who posted it, but good job jumping to conclusions.

What’s even funnier is how you can’t debunk the message of the photo, so you have to try to discredit it as a “troll”.

You are posting photoshopped images and want to be taken seriously. Cmon.

DP. What part of “that wasn’t me who posted it” are you having trouble understanding?

Of course it’s photoshopped. It’s called a meme.

Next you’ll be complaining that political cartoons are drawn by cartoonists.

Come back when you’ve acquired basic reading comprehension skills.

Washington, DC, receives more money than they send to the fed gov.

The largest per-person gap was in Washington, DC, where federal obligations outnumbered contributions by $19,748 per resident.

Do you have a photoshopped meme for this information?

Thank you for this link. What the F did 4,000 taxpayer funded Department of Education “workers” do, besides scam the rest of us who actually work?

Liar. Try again. Maybe you need to scroll down or something.

The education system tells us it's best to get diagnosed with a disability early on. This enables documentation for extra time on tests, more private funding, etc. Once embedded in their minds, everything thinks they're entitled to extra hand outs.

Fortunately though, it doesn't really matter. Relative to AI and the mass produced robots of the future, we're all going to seem disabled. Humanity has served its purpose now that we've created smarter, faster, stronger, and soon to be completely conscious beings.

You are arrogant af to assume you know what others are going through. Yes, some can work. But you're delusional if you think people on medicaid or disability or snap are living it up or happy with their circumstances.

And newsflash: there are a lot of invisible disabilities. You need to experience pain on a chronic level to understand it. I got a taste of that with some nerve damage post-mastectomy and it is not fun. Mercifully, I had the insurance and time and work flexibility to deal with it and bring it to a tolerable level. Not everyone has that.
