Bro, coming off of disability after Five years from a brain injury was HARD.

Well, not really lol. Went to an office on staten island for overnight labor dispatch manager and started a few days later at good pay.

But it was PURE luck. almost no one pays that salary on staten island so you have to go to the city, which i couldn’t do anymore.

So, let’s say someone offered me 35k, and i’m getting 25k on SSDI, i’m not going to lie. Even though is SO not a conservative value, I wouldn’t have wanted to take it. After taxes, it would be the same.

It’s embarrassing to admit it but it’s the truth .

a good man makes his own good luck.

I get that. It's a lot easier to go out and get a good job if you already have a shi**y job but it's hard to see that sometimes when you're working in that shi**y job. Trump's tax plan makes those shi**y jobs easier to live with while you work for something better.
