sirfrogsworth:I feel like no one in power is bringing this up. I think *everyone* deserves a living wage but the disabled are almost always left out of the conversation. I can’t afford a healthy diet for my diabetes. I can’t afford a housekeeper to help me keep a hygienic environment. I can’t afford dental insurance. I can’t afford a part-time caretaker to help me with ongoing medical needs. I sometimes wonder how much healthier I could be if I had even a little help staying on track with diet, medication, and perhaps some light physical therapy as well. I do my best to manage it all on my own, but I feel like I’m the world’s worst equestrian. I keep falling off the horse of life over and over and over and it keeps getting harder to get back on again. But I’m one of the lucky ones. I don’t have to pay rent. I don’t have a phone or a car payment. I can scrape by. But no one should have to scrape at all. -- source link
