    I’m a disabled millennial. I live in a dangerous old house with 5 roommates and I am still spending over half my money on rent.

      Well there’s you’re problem! You’re disabled, so therefore unprofitable. It’s criminal that you have the ability to live while someone who could make profit for our corporate overlords might not. Shame on you for being a leech on society! (In case it wasn’t obvious, /S)

        Disabled people are literally paid just to be alive.

        Trying to paint reality as a hellish dystopia only works if you say true things.

              I’m referring to your comment about disabled people. I can’t imagine being such a piece of shit that I can’t see the value of anyone beyond what money they can bring in through physical labor. What a way to view the world.

                Well it’s a good thing I never implied anything of that sort.

                You ok man?

                  Your comment “Disabled people are literally paid to be alive” heavily implies that you view disabled people as though they have no value at all, and are nothing but a drain on society. If I’ve misunderstood, please feel free to explain.

                    Here’s how the conversation went:

                    • person mentions having a disability

                    • second person chimes in with “society has determined the disabled are useless and we do not care about you”

                    • I say “that’s not true. We pay disabled people to live.”

                    • you say “you’re a monster who doesn’t think disabled people have value”

                    • I get very confused
