People assume they’ll be the exception. That disability, poverty, homelessness won’t befall them
That if something “bad” happens, they will be able to “try harder” their way out of it.
This false belief allows them to blame the ones who are suffering, instead of the oppressive systems that trap us

Why do some folks set themselves up as arbiters of my disability?
I think that our very existence is the continual slap in the face reminder that none of us truly control our destiny.
Currently there is no 'try harder.' There is only 'don't lose yourself' and hope the legal system helps me.
Pay on the HIGH end is $1,200 p month.
You will lose everything.
Medicare is $185 p month and does not pay everything.
No one is immune, and the present upheaval is about to prove it.
Can you give me 3 realistic suggestions here?
God is not real. Stop being selfish.
Many ppl become homeless &/or die in the process😒
So many of us become homeless EVEN IF we are lucky enough to make it through the Disability approval process. 😒
STOP DEFLECTING FROM THE REAL PROBLEMS WE ARE TALKING ABOUT RIGHT NOW!!!!
AMERICA IS KILLING ITS OWN CITIZENS FOR PROFIT!!!
SHUT THE FUCK UP ABOUT BETTER OR WORSE, IT'S WRONG BY ITSELF!!!
I hate your stupid, scared, backwards, god-rotted brain.

I’ll do it tomorrow,
The fool does say,
Tomorrow’s too late,
The wise did it yesterday.
I little poem from my childhood. A long time ago 🫥🫥✊🏼✊🏼✊🏼
Those are the funniest!
The Army helped me out of the poverty and homelessness… it also caused my disability. My wife and kids help me with my disability.
And they also have empathy for other people?
These things aren't all mutually exclusive.
But I worked with the public to know this attitude isn't the most common view point. But it is common.
To keep blaming the victims of the endless cycle of greed and oppression makes no sense.
Solution - tax the rich.
I also need people to stop saying "nothing I do matters, so I won't do anything..."
It's not serving anyone. If we all do small things to resist now, we have a better shot at mitigating issues.
All actions matter
