May regret this but give me your reasons why disabled people who a science-based MD has determined are unable to maintain employment in the workforce should be forced to live their lives in poverty.
Govt doesn& #39;t have enough money is off the table bc tax the rich.
Go.

TBC this isn& #39;t a & #39;debate me& #39; tweet. I probably won& #39;t reply but I want to hear your reasons why because clearly everyone is OK with this since none of you have said boo about it.
Reason I& #39;m asking is because I don& #39;t think I should have to beg my govt for money. I don& #39;t think I should have to go to the press and put the hardship on display. So I want to engage not with your & #39;empathy& #39; but your reasons. So let& #39;s hear them.
Do you disbelieve the doctors?
Do you dispute that I am human?
You know the costs of living in our society, you know humans require food, water, shelter and clothing at bare minimum - but do also remember this amount is for a lifetime, not temporary.

Do you think people who can& #39;t work should not be allowed to live?
I& #39;m pretty sure Fraser Institute has argued for a return to poor houses. Is that your view?
You need to have a reason why you& #39;ve been OK with disabled people& #39;s poverty. So what is it?

Policy like this, where it& #39;s been deliberate, is a reflection of the govt (all levels) being confident that leaving disabled people in poverty pre and during the pandemic would not hurt them at the polls. They& #39;re sure they have your consent. So I want to know why you& #39;ve given it.
It would be absurd to suggest that *poor* disabled people have not been considered during the Covid-19 response and that the lack of financial support was just an oversight. Oops. We know that& #39;s not true. We were considered (expendable) when triage protocols were estabished.
