    SSDI is about 1500 a month. That doesn’t even pay rent let alone buy you an expensive truck. Alternative theory he already had house and money prior to stopping working or received a settlement for whatever happened. You have no idea what is actually medically wrong with him but have constructed this elaborate fantasy about uncle Sam buying him a fancy truck on benefits which just can’t be real.

      Nope not a fantasy it’s a backwater rural thing you see a lot. Neighbor lives rent free on a slice of land his family owns. Lives in a tiny leaky tin roofed “shed”. And wastes his government $$ on a nice truck.

      In rural areas where people do not need much cash to survive, you see this sort of thing. It’s a sad ugly truth.

        How do you know he isn’t actually disabled?

          Meth head energetic shinnanageons, leaf blowing the roof of his shack, the most energetic weed cutting I’ve ever seen swinging the weed eater like a scythe, shooting his shotgun next to his dog, screaming it it to quit barking.

          A contractor who worked at my house had actually employed him in the past but had to fire him because he couldn’t stop smoking meth at work.

          Maybe the guy is disabled. I’m not trying to get to know him better, but from my experiences with him the past several years, the asshole is a sponge on society.
