When I had my stroke and was diagnosed with Takayasu's Arteritis I could have filed for disability. I didn't. In fact two months after my stroke I started watching kids (3 to start then ended up watching 4, took them all to my doctor appiontments and the grocery store too) to help with medical bills. After a couple of years I started to work again (at a school district in purchasing), started having symptoms AGAIN. Found out the other carotid, subclavian and vertibrial ateries were closing (80-90% occluded). Had to take a leave, had stints placed in all three arteries then QUIT. I was on leave for a total of two weeks before I realized I couldn't go back to work. I could still be on disability to this day if I wanted.
I would love to know the the percentage of people on DU who either are at the end of their unemployment, prepetually unemployed, are on disability or trying to get disability.
I wonder why 90% of the country is not on disability thanks to the medical drug Company's.
Between OTC stuff with warnings not to drive or operate machinery and the RX proscriptions that also have that warning, who can work if they have a cold, an allergy, use high/low pressure medication, take sleeping pills, have a glass of wine while on any of these drugs-------and mix the OTC with the RX then stop after work for a beer with the guys and gals, go home and ingest a Food that has high levels of Arsenic and Herbicides. Food poisioning, recalls on meat, fruit and vegetables, People are still dieing from the fiasco with cantelopes last year.-------More drugs to fight the poisons from contamination of our food.
No big wonder to me that people are going bonkers, they are a walking Chemical Soup. Then we have to add in the WEEKEND users of man made Shit------.
All these disability's people claim for themselves and children is NOT NATURAL. It has only came about in the last 30 years, when the huge numbers of children began to be classified as disabled for one reason or another.
Some Adults are slackers, but what can we say for the young kids, Yes we did blame most of it on vaccinations until that was debunked as a single source------. Has to be a combonation of all the medication and outside sources that is turning us into a Nation of Zombies.
Government states we are living years longer due to medical advances, is this true??? I visit family at peace and reading the headstones of 100 years find more then one would expect living longer then their descendants.
BTW, about 10 years ago at a used book store I picked up a SCI-Fi book written almost 40 years ago ---The subject and story was about a Company manufacturing TV Dinners that added something to the food, sold it for 50 cents and everyone went crazy for it. It Tasted great, filled them up, so good people were becoming addicted to the food. Few were cooking for themselves and everyone craved the product over home or restaurant food.
Upshot was people were starting to burst into flame for no reason, pets that were allowed to lick the plate it came with came to a bad end if they farted near an open flame.
Looking back aluminum cook ware and non stick cook ware is and has been blamed for Old Timers Disease and the Tobacco industry accused of additives to the product to boost dependence on cigarettes a bird owner I will not have non stick cookwere in my home, the fumes from a burning on pan can kill the birds and who knows what it does to our lungs.
Asbestos, a good example, at its time a wonderful material, today a silent killer.
Beg, not all the disability today is a scam, there has to be a reason millions of people become sick and loose the will to work. Social, environmental issues come in here, a wonder what is causing this loss of pride, loss of work and the children to be born ill.
