This should never, ever happen in the richest country in the world.
Today I met a young 25 year old man. He had a stroke out of the blue. Left side of his body became immobile. He lost his job at a warehouse and was evicted from his apartment for non-payment. He now sleeps in a park in his wheelchair. He's been waiting for disability for 3 years.

I will say, after 3 years of waiting, he's gonna get one helluva backpay....

America is becoming the land of the homeless and hungry. This is due to the policies of the administration.

Agreed. But it’s the vampire diaries out there presently.
Just when you think our predatory for-profit ‘healthcare’ system cannot get any worse a Louisville hospital is caught dumping sick elderly patients on the sidewalk & leaving them. FULL STORY: wave3.com/2023/06/29/its-lik…

Yes, been pointing out for years, how we discard humans who aren't of current use to employers. Americans just shrug.

Getting disability in this country is so hard. I was denied several times and I had to get a lawyer. I finally got it after I had to be hospitalized for a related condition that I was diagnosed with.

Another reason to fight for a substantial, scalable, unconditional Universal Basic Income.

You know what else should never happen in the richest country in the world? A public school system that decides you get an education based on your zip code. You're all for the federal government taking over state run programs but never discuss public schools. I wonder why? 🤔

No problem, Biden will fix this by sending more money as a military aid to Ukraine and Taiwan and let the natural selection come to US
