I just boosted "I think that the biggest reason I believe that we need universal basic income is so that people always have an out. A bad relationship, a bad job, a bad situation, even discovering you've overrotated on something that's turning into a scam or a cult. You should always be able to walk away without fearing destitution."
but,
more than that, we should have UBI so disability isn't a crime with a death sentence.

I agree. I had a very bad break in my life that left me without any money. My SS is 200% of poverty line for single senior. I am also recently disabled. My only strategy is to stay home, get only the essentials, and eat less. I have found I can survive on 1 meal of beans a day if I keep busy outside. Trying to get some sort of remote work; even $50 more a month would help.I really wonder what my life was for, as the ‘fail’ column is way bigger than the ‘success’ one. I am home=success.

@NoctisEqui 💗 It is very easy to think in terms of fail/success, as that is how capitalist society rates us.
Whereas we are human beings who shouldn't be judged for how useful a cog we are.
I am trying to hard to find joy within the boundaries of disability and to consider it enough to have done the best I can on any given day.
I hope you manage to find peace and work.
