Wtf should I wear to the living room today
People on disability shouldn't get a stimulus check, theirs should be donated to repaying all the money they've mooched off taxpayers.
This is not the first time Iâve gotten a message like this. I always find it curious. Because if you have this attitude you are either invincible, rich, or a fool.
I used to be in this tech nerd community and there was this older fella who slowly revealed himself to be a super right wing asshat. He complained about immigrants mooching, black people mooching, poor people mooching⊠everybody was mooching his taxes. Meanwhile, he was 65 and working hard. Paying his own way. Doing things proper like a good American.Â
He was no damn moocher, thatâs for sure.
Then he got sick.
He could not work anymore.
Lost his medical insurance.
His savings ran out in about 3 months.
And he became a fellow moocher.
He had to sign up for Medicare and disability.
But then he realized that wasnât enough to live on. Boy, was he mad. ALL CAPS POSTS about how he canât afford rent. He canât afford food. He started posting links to his Paypal asking people to donate. He got furious at people because no one would give him money. Called us all bad people for not helping him in his time of need. He had to move to a smaller place. Sell a lot of his tech.
He was so very angry.
âI WORKED HARD.â
âI DID THINGS THE PROPER WAY.â
âI DESERVE MORE THAN THOSE MOOCHERS!â
Even after his experience, he viewed himself as different than other people trapped in the safety net. He deserved more because he had a bootstrap attitude. It didnât occur to him that a lot of people on welfare or disability probably worked hard too. That he was no more or less deserving than them. It was sad to see his experience didnât instill any empathy.
Heâs a lost cause. But maybe you arenât. Maybe you should think about how long you could last before youâd have to mooch. Are you set for life? If you were in an accident and unable to work ever again, would you be able to live comfortably and manage your expenses? Think about that. And think about the fact that disability pays less than minimum wage. Could you live your life on $750 per month? What changes would you have to make to accomplish that? Use your imagination and really try to put yourself in those shoes.
$1200 is not a windfall for me. It is maybe 4 months of having slightly less financial anxiety. That anxiety is a part of my life. It is inescapable and I have conceded it will always be there. It is the dread of seeing $14 in my bank account towards the end of the month and hoping I didnât forget about an automatic payment. Itâs the fear of looking in my freezer and wondering if two bags of frozen chicken nuggets are enough to last until I get my next payment.Â
But now I am getting $1200 and for a few months maybe I donât have to feel some of that anxiety. I can reallocate that anxiety to the world being on fire and worrying about my dad getting sick.
But you want me to send it back?
Whatâs even sadder about your attitude is you are focusing on the wrong people. Iâm not a moocher. Iâm an insignificant financial speck in the grand scheme. Iâm probably a percentage of a penny on your tax bill. But then you look at companies like Amazon who used loopholes to pay no taxes. They also got cities to subsidize offices and warehouses. So not only did they not pay taxes, we paid them for the honor of giving people low wage jobs with poor benefits and dubious working conditions.Â
What about our F-35 fighter jet program? For years they didnât even work properly and they still havenât even been used for anything and they will probably rarely be utilized because of drones. But we will spend a trillion dollars on them anyway.Â
What about oil subsidies? About $20 billion of our tax dollars goes to the fossil fuel industry every year. An industry that has never struggled to turn a profit. Just look at pictures of Dubai and ask yourself why we are giving them subsidies.Â
We give corporations billions upon billions of dollars even though they are making record profits. And then we find out they were operating so close to the edge that they canât even last a month without us giving them billions more.Â
But my $750 per month makes me the moocher.
Sure.
For the time being, if I write something I think is important, Iâm going to post it here too. You can blacklist #long post if you donât want to see it. Or unfollow.Â
god made ferrets by taking a cat and rolling it between his hands like a long piece of play doh
We call musicals unrealistic because people randomly burst into song but Iâve been home alone for like 3 days and I start singing about what Iâm doing every 5 minutes
singing in musicals: *perfect harmonies* weâre all in this together!
singing to myself: *one note only* heating up some soup! heating up some soup! ya put it in the microwave and watch it spin around!
when i clicked on a video titledâ I Made Kylieâs Christmas Dress for $20!â this is the last possible thing i would have ever expectedÂ
so my bf's legs are uneven so when he walks he tends to drift left and my hips are twisted I tend to drift right so when we hold hands we cancel out
jk he pulls me closer to him constantly bc I don't pay attention to where I'm going and my body is dead set on making me walk off of the edge of the sidewalk
my left hand/his right hand = cancels out mostly, I still drift a little
my right hand/his left hand = collision course
hang on I gotta google some stuff
yeah this is funny
The man who boarded all those supplies was forced to donate it after the attorney general began investigating him for price gouging. The donation was facilitated and supervised by the AGâs office.
can i get a yeehaw?
I think I found my new favorite comic of all time
If existence is meaningless, create your own purpose and meaning.

Alternate Universes colliding.
universal pictures really dug themselves into a hole with the âminions flock to the biggest villain on the planetâ thing because thereâs no way to deny that minions must have worked for like, fascist italy or the mafia⊠but they made their bed so now they can lie in it
minions are directly responsible for every war crime and atrocity in human history
So I looked this up and Universal did in fact think of a workaround for this. The Minions were actually in hiding from the end of the Napoleonic Wars in 1815 until the main events of the Minions movie in 1968. So the minions did not work for Hitler or Mussolini but they definitely did 9/11
The Backstreet Boys performing I Want It That Way together from each of their homes is exactly what I needed today.
The Backstreet Boys have the best redemption arc .
The air instruments :-D
