    Because the state does nothing to help, like anti-discrimination laws

    An alternative phrase to disabled I like is “less exploitable”.

    I imagine the capitalist saying: Sorry, I can’t exploit your labor as much as the other. You may starve now.

    I feel like ssdi or ssi are only “okay” if you live with family. I’m a single adult with no relatives, and the 1k/month(ish) I get isnt even enough to cover renting an apartment where I live. Even if I lived with family for free, that 1k/month wouldn’t be enough to pay for the things I need that are directly associated with my disabilities (doctor visits, travel, assistive devices, a maid or property manager, my service dog and her needs, etc.).

    There was a study recently that showed support for assisted dying is higher among poor populations. No shit, we can’t afford to live, and we can’t afford to die from our issues either lol

      Yeah once my parents die it’s euthanasia for me. I want to live but in these financial conditions I have no choice but to die.
