[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why not get a job and work? There are quadriplegics on ventilators who work. There are people with severe multiple sclerosis who don't demand our tax dollar support them. Why can't you work?[/quote]

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.  [/quote]

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. [/quote]
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.
