100k isn’t rich. Disabled people face incredible costs as insurance companies and medical care in general gets more and more expensive for less and less, and sometimes out of pocket they have to pay tens of thousands for a vital assistive device. The chances they’ll get there are frankly nearly impossible - as usual, the answer is that if one person may exploit the system but hundreds of thousands or more will have a very difficult life eased, the ethical thing is to let it go or at least engage an investigation, not a blanket ban.

I completely agree. Despite my reservations toward the account limits, I do still think this is an overall net positive. I just worry about the angles the Trump cult might use to attack these sorts of services.
I hate that this is the state of the world now, where I can read an article about something that lifts up a marginalized group of people, and all I can think about is all the ways it’ll be used as fodder for some fascist agenda. Sorry for being a downer. :(
