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.

@Katja That last line is where I am... Autistic burnout... but I can't take the time I need to recover, and I'm already too disabled to make rent. I'm delaying the inevitable at this point

@hellomiakoda That's so rough. I hope you manage to find a way, despite evil doing its best.

Learning things to mitigate over stim seems to have been a good starting place.
Let's hope I'm approved for disability bennies. Though, I'm hearing 2+ years... and I definitely don't have that left in me. 🤷🏼‍♀️

@hellomiakoda *sending you all my best hopes and wishes* I hope it all comes through, fast.
I have also heard 2+ years, but miracles sometimes happen. I hope one does for you.

I am very sure the application process is designed so certain disabled people fail, and takes so long so many die waiting.

@hellomiakoda ...I really feel that's "a feature, not a bug", yeah.
