You know, I brought this up before the election.
As most here know, franksolich has some, uh, significant hindrances to working for a living.
One major birth defect, two developmental defects, and one substantial bodily injury and loss.
On paper, I can't work.
That's what it says, on paper; franksolich is deaf, speech-impaired, not very bright, and has sustained major bone breakage and loss. Fortunately, other than the absence of two ears, all these other impairments are internal, not easily seen, and so at first impression I look average.
On paper, I can't work. There's a whole series of physicians, otolaryntologists, surgeons, physical therapists, audiologists, speech pathologists, orthopaedic physicians, psychologists, signatures on documents saying franksolich is unemployable; he's unable to work.
Never mind that I've worked since I was 14 years old; that's in real life, and we're talking official papers here.
It's sort of like when I was wandering around the socialist paradises of the workers and peasants for a couple of years during the mid-1990s, and paid my way through by.....teaching English.
Yeah, a deaf person teaching English. On paper it can't be done; it's impossible; it's like a blind person being an art critic or a mute person being a telephone receptionist.
So, anyway.
According to a statement I've gotten about every other year from the Social Security Administration, if I were disabled, I could sit on my ass and collect $1433 a month, plus all the free medical care, the food stamps, the rental assistance, that comes with it.
I've never checked; I'm not sure how this works, because I understand, sort of, that there's social security disability and SSDI, whatever that acronym means, two different things.
The SSDI is to be bankrupt in a year and a half; maybe I should shoot for that one.
Why would I bother shooting for it? I'm tired of all these loafers on the social security disability gravy train, and if franksolich got a ticket himself, it'd deplete that fund all the faster, depriving the Odin2005 primitive, the Las Vegas Leviathan, the HaweyeX primitive, and other primitives who've gotten a free ride far too long; the money'd run out faster.
After the money runs out, franksolich would, as he always has, still manage to survive.
The primitive freeloaders, probably not; to survive, they need spoon-fed, like a baby.
Now with Barack Milhous' re-election, I wonder if I should look into this more. I've been told in the past by attorneys and physicians who know such things, that I'd probably get aboard the gravy train the first time, none of this denial-and-appeal stuff. They've wondered why I've never done it before, but I have qualms about it.
My conscience is wrestling with it because my motives wouldn't be pure; it wouldn't be for my survival, but rather just to help deplete the funds faster so the "disabled" primitives would get less.
