Gotta say, 'disabled people don't deserve luxuries' was not a take I was expecting today. 3O hasn't even been back a full 24 hours yet and already trying to make up for lost time, i see.

Both the statements "income support benefits should be higher across the board" and "there are legitimate reasons not to linearly scale benefits to household size" can be true at the same time.

Disabled people just deserve to be penalized for getting married to each other in a way nobody else is apparently.

I completely believe in restructuring our disability system to make it more generous but gaming the system because of your social mobility and connections doesn't seem fair.

Ask like 95% of divorced people if they feel they were not financially penalized by getting married because of their financial situation before and after marriage.

Three Olives posted:There is an entire discussion to be had about SSDI benefits, but marriage and especially cohabitating absolutely reduces living expenses by A LOT. Massive government programs are complicated but I'm pretty sure this whole prevision was designed so if you are both living on survival income in 1 bedroom apartments and move in together in a 1 bedroom apartment you don't get to use the extra money to buy an Playstation. SSDI is not earned income, it's money so you don't you (hopefully) end up on the streets. Like, your social security benefit doesn't decrease because you get married, you earned it by paying into it, SSDI is what you need, regardless of what you have paid, to not live under a bridge eating cat food. Maybe you should shut the gently caress up instead of acting like if the poors get even a little bit more money they'll waste it all on PlayStations and we have to stop them to make sure that doesn't happen. You know you're repeating the talking points of the same people who want to put you in a re-education camp, right?

3O was born into money and then married money, please stop arguing with him as if he understands how money works lol Most of his posts are either talking about things he bought, or being judgemental about his partner's taste in furniture I guess, and talking about the money people around him have. It's not really going to be worthwhile discussing money with someone who doesn't understand how it works tbh.

AreWeDrunkYet posted:Both the statements "income support benefits should be higher across the board" and "there are legitimate reasons not to linearly scale benefits to household size" can be true at the same time. THIS. I'm not saying the benefits are fair, I am saying that there are incredibly obvious reasons why a married couple would have significantly lowered expenses and that it is reasonable to account for that. Like someone said "luxury items", when I got married, my insurance went down in cost significantly, is a car a "luxury item". Think carefully.

re: marathon lady As someone who occasionally runs for exercise (usually a 5k three times a week when I do, followed by months if not years at a time where I am too lazy for that), I agree that 1) it's hella disingenuous for her to claim she ran a marathon and 2) it's... not something to brag about over a yearly period.  Running a wholeass marathon is hard and it's a genuine feat! I have a friend who's run marathons and he's way more fit and cool than me, for instance, and I can't imagine claiming I've run one when I haven't. I don't think I will ever run one. Maybe I could with lots of training and willpower, and I definitely do not have the willpower. A lot of people can barely run one mile, nevermind 26 in a row! For me, I went from struggling to run a mile in gym class to doing the couch25k in a summer and learning that it is, in fact, possible for me to run thirty minutes straight! Personally had the SiL just talked about something like that I think it would still have been impressive without lying to herself and everyone around her.

Can't believe I could have been stealing Valor - I've cumulatively walked a marathon in the last couple of weeks and I'm not very active (just a regular walk at lunch) So to take a year is like, a really long time

PurpleLizardWizard posted:It's going to depend on their state and their exact situation, but them officially getting married could reduce their combined benefits by 25%. This entire post is basically in support of everything you have posted above. A couple of decades ago, when I worked at a vet’s office, a disabled couple brought their cat to us. At one visit, we were chatting and they mentioned that they had to get a divorce in order to receive more disability support for the wheelchair-bound spouse. I’m guessing they needed the actual divorce decree documentation in order to receive that support since we are in a common law state. I don’t know if the policies had recently changed or if they just got a competent new case manager that was actively looking for anything that they could enroll in to help them out. They were very upset that they had to legally no longer be married due the severity of their medical disabilities. This statement doesn’t really cover how emotionally hurtful being forced to be legally divorced, in order to receive necessary medical support, was to them. Btw, per 3O’s belief about poor and disabled people leveraging their social connections  :They were not “gaming” the system and they had only enough extra money to bring their cat in monthly for flea treatment. They lived in a low-income apartment a block away and no one else in those apartments treated their pets. The one in the wheelchair held the cat carrier in their lap on the way over. Ain’t nobody buying a car or a PlayStation in that household.

Three Olives, when you get old and have no one to take care of you, because absolutely no one gives judgmental old men the time of day, I hope you end up under a bridge eating cat food Probably tho, you'll end up in some beige nightmare of an old folk's home, which maybe is even worse for you. Passing time until you die in the place with the worst taste you can imagine, and you're paying to be there.

Whatever, I'm still laying my worst curse upon him, which is that whatever he hopes for the afterlife, may he discover the opposite. Three Olives, if you hope for heaven or hell or whathaveyou, may there be oblivion for you, you're nothing once your life is over. And if you hope for oblivion to free you, may fatiguing, endless, inescapable eternal life await you. Whatever you need to put yourself to rest at the end of things, may that be denied, and may you live in dread for this Sword of Damocles because from now on, the only way you can know it won't actually happen is to wait until the moment of your death and see.
