I got bigger things to worry about than what DU puts disability under; actually no I always do not have bigger problems always.. But I'd always chose having a brain dead, chilled day over worrying over bull shit..Or when I chose to worry or am forced to deal with whatever-it's real not stupid... that's my problem with adapt!! The issues they make an issue over more often than not-they do not matter..
I do not care if disability is linked to health. While I know that isn't true-I do not care..
I want more funds for pediatric therapy, i want medicare for all.
I want a end to drugs I believe cause a lot of disabilities in the peds population. And I am talking about products made by pharmaceutical companies, parent's are told to take or give their young kids. Not "Street drugs."
I want an end to all corporal punishment in all 50 states. Right now it is legal in 20-disabled students are way more likely to be victimized by this horror..
I want to raise the federal minimum wage because mainly it's the right thing to do. But it would also improve attendant care for pwds
I want real efforts made by our gov to end the sky high unemployment and poverty rates people with disabilities face. Including changing the maximum age for student SSI earning exemption from 22 to at least 25, if not 30 or removing it all together. I want our gov to look into expanding schedule A into the private sector somehow. But the most probable way to do so is through tax breaks!! Well first you need to end the practice of transfer pay so that these multi-billion dollar corp's actually pay income tax. Then we can use tax breaks to incentavize companies to do the right thing. In addition to using tax revenue to keep all sorts of programs going-including those that really do help the disabled.
I also want our gov to innovate how people with disabilities can join the military! There's so many jobs one with a disability can do in our armed forces. That also can be a huge help in lowering disabled unemployment!!!
I so wish "disabled advocates" advocated for stuff that matters-cause people's or societal attitudes don't mean shit to me-to me doesn't matter
I so don't mean to attack you. Of course you and everyone else can care about attitudes or whatever you feel is proper and deserves attention. This is just how I feel and what makes sense to me!
