I fucking paid my taxes to protect me from poverty if I became disabled… little did I know that disability only pays 11k/year and if you have more than $2k in the bank or in valuables, they take away your food and Medicaid. That $2k asset limit hasn’t changed since 1974. We can’t fix a vehicle on that, we can’t pay our rent, we can’t survive on max $2k at any given time. If adjusted for inflation, it would be $13k. That’s enough to survive on.
