Did you know how much money disabled people get, after many strict appointments and justifying their needs to uninformed ableist people? https://www.gov.uk/pip/how-much-youll-get

This is AT MOST. It takes a lot of appointments, waiting, explaining, asking, Mandatory Reconsideration, Appeal Tribunal, and luck that they believe you this time because you legalesed your way into the right side of respectability politics.
But ONLY SO FAR and no further, because, clearly, then you’re just “trying it on” to avoid work, and not for any other possible reasons, right? Like. Idk. Being unable, or perhaps, dis-abled from doing so.

Sorry if I didn’t get your condition, health status, disability, injury, illness, or infection in the hashtags.
IDK if there’s a limit, but your experience is real, regardless.

(Also my brain is like a strange car that is very fast but only at random times and sometimes on certain roads, but not the same road and times because idk. Vibes I guess??)

There's a reason I point people to that link and https://www.gov.uk/universal-credit/what-youll-get for the poors in general.

If you, Brit or fellow non-Brit stuck here sans a more accessible better option,
lost your job, then
what would the government deign you capable of living on?

Could you live on that?
What would you have to give up?

Who would you have to stop meeting?
How long could you live like that?

What else would you do with your time?
How will you pay for that?

How will you explain to the job centre staff why you chose to do that instead of Finding A Job, You Scrounger?

I admire the UK Government's belief in our frugality skills, but please learn the phrase "social murder".

Yes, even the Labour politicians and affiliates. Yes, even whichever party you consider to be the "good ones" or the "smart ones".

Hierarchies are baked into every social institution.
There's nothing wrong with wanting a simple life, or wanting to incentivise certain behaviours from other people.

You can choose to preserve and uphold everyone's human rights at any time. We have more than enough resources for everyone, regardless of #DeGrowth, global limits, or current misallocation.
