People around here love The Disability but it is guaranteed poverty. I’m amazed at the number of people here that are too disabled to work but run a lawn care business or have a handyman business.
Some may be just partially disabled. Some conditions allow a person to work for say 1/4 day, or 1/2 day but not a whole day as they get too weak tO keep working through the day. Disability also has a benefit that keeps a person on disability while they try to get back to work full time- if they find they can’t after so many months of trying, then they don’t lose their disability.
Also a lot of times disabled folks have things ,ike chronic fatigue where they can go for a bit, but get too weak to continue, and their minds even get affected with the dang “brain fog” which is essentially cognitive Disability that makes them unfit for work that involves a lot of brainwork instead of physical labor.
I don’t know the folks around d your town of course, but there might be something like the above happening. Disability doesn’t mean strapped to a bed 24/7- it jusy means a person is too weak to earn a living with full time work.
I do agree there are a ton of folks gaming the system, and Biden and ilk have accommodated the scammers while making it harder for people who are truly disabled to get onto Disability.
Yes, and where I am, too.
