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?

Page has been taken down. Is this one of those list where DC is included on a list of states?

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.

I am a physical therapist. I’ve heard many patients, typically of the same union group, advising each other on how to manage the system for a better payout.
There are many who will ask me to dictate certain words in their patient record. They find this information from their lawyer.

On the flipside, I know people with severe injuries and illnesses, including chronic pain, patients, who do anything to get back to a more productive lifestyle.

This is why socialism doesn't work. It's totally ignorant of human nature

You're suggesting blue collar jobs do not come with injuries and pain? My family was / is blue collar (e.g., welders, laborers, railroad grunts, electricians) and they all have job-related injuries, to a one.

Furthermore, there is waste/fraud in most (if not every system) but that is insufficient justification to throw the baby out with the bathwater.

Some people make a sport out of gaming the system for payouts. Some doctors do too.

Getting SSD is hard, and takes many years in almost all instances. The only patient I knew in the past few years who got disability with one years time was recently blinded with severe neuropathy in fingers so could not read braille. The others who applied were denied or waiting and in 3rd year of waiting. I knew of two who faced clawbacks after they worked a few too many hours.

My mom was approved almost instantly. I think it took less than two months and they were willing to back date it to her terminal cancer diagnosis date. But there is still a 6 month waiting period so she never collected.

So there’s that.

for health care

because many jobs have punitive sick leave policies and you can't be sick and work/hold a job

because you can't manage multiple medical appts/treatments and a full time job

because you can't carry an oxygen tank around all day, or you lost a limb, or went blind...

because you jumped though a million hoops so someone could question why you can't just work

This is also why capitalism fails - because it also ignores human nature.

Because dialysis takes hours out of your day and is exhausting but you're still not getting disability.

Nobody is advocating for socialism. But there has to be programs that support people in real need. The issue are people who scam the system or comply with patients’ requests to scam the system.

Republicans’ answer to folks in this situation is suicide. They just want them to die.

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.

+1 woot woot!
