    As a blind child, I dealt with this when I first grew up and got my first job until I qualified for Social Security disability instead. And I know a number of people who have this exact issue.

        A lot of the people I know use a trusted third party such as a parent and have money transferred to an account in their name to avoid this exact issue.

    Socialize industries. Do what countries like Qatar did and give the wealth to the people. Gdi, it’s so obvious, but they’ve got us arguing because the genitals of the person you don’t even know might not match your expectations. The right are led around so fucking easily it’d be embarrassing if they were capable of seeing it.

      Many people are voting red because they think it will be better for their personal finances, with promises of lower taxes. They don’t look at the benefits: that use to outweigh the cost, which we’ve mostly lost Even though we still pay high taxes and high cost of living for things that are now for (higher) profit (healthcare, school, etc.). It’s not wrong to try and look at your bottom line, it’s just a short-sighted bottom line.

      At least this is the conversation I have with people who consider themselves moderates who lean right and tend to vote Republican.
