Genuine question: why is the immediate response to this "they're all fakers" and not "gee, we went /are going through a mass disabling event"...
Alfred Chow - Maker of Things@alexisbushnell
My feeling is that the people who say that are exactly the kind of people who would act fraudulently, and cheat the system, if they could. So they expect that everyone else must also be doing that.
Also, they are so greedy that they can't have some other people getting something that they can't get for themselves.
Yes, it is hypocritical.
"If I could fraudulently have that benefit, I would, but I can't, so those who do have it must be cheating me out of it somehow!"
@Maker_of_Things urgh that is very true. Also I guess it gives politicians a reason to waste more money stopping people getting the support they need...
