I’m asking because you seem to be saying that you can’t make a living.
I’m unable to make one that would pay for all my health conditions and allow the necessary downtime for when I schizo out for months at a time.
According to you? Or officially? If you cant make enough money for health conditions, then you must be a big supporter of Obamacare right?
You’re upset that you’re too ill to earn a living and that you therefore can’t afford to take care of your health?
Who is supposed to pay for you when you schizo out for months at a time? You wanna save that up while you’re working? Then you’d need to be very valuable to someone, and if you take responsibility for yourself, then you take the responsibility of finding and convincing someone that can pay you that you’re worth that.
I used to pay for myself during those months, but I didn’t understand my situation other than I was in a cycle of what seemed impossible to keep up with when my condition kept deteriorating which it has continued to do my entire adult life. If I were a spring chicken I would wade back out there, but I’m not. I did own several businesses, but I was unable to hang in there when the chips (were not just down, but) flipped out flying across the room. I wish I’d been diagnosed a decade earlier.
So go and get disability, and if you dont think that’s enough, then stop voting for republicans.
And start being thankful for the people who can earn what you need, and for the government who taxes them to take care of you.

If you have a debilitating illness, which prevents you from working, why would you refuse an inheritance?
More to that story than meets the eye?
An honest person realises you can’t rely on anyone but yourself when the chips are down and if you learn that early enough you will realise you need to plan for the future.
In your case though, your circumstance is different.
Thanks for the thoughts, I’m already on disability. Ya know, Dan was very brave in a thread of his when he thanked the Canadian government for keeping him alive…I share his feelings even though I complain about all the corruption within it.
SM,
Yes, there is more to that story which you probably won’t ever read. I refused a house (my sisters would make better use of it with their families), but I won’t refuse a used car or a little cash.
No room for you?
Joker and I are trying to build our own life together.
Good luck.
I thought Joker was going off into the sunset, did you persuade him to stay? 
I think that there is a saying that goes like this…in a relationship only one person can be crazy at a time. It was my turn to be the voice of reason, unbelievable I know. 
1% of all US people has 40% of all the nation’s wealth. And the poorest 80% of all US people have merely 7% of all the nation’s wealth. 
Watch the video Serendipper posted (especially 4:41–4:54):
After watching that vid. of Serendipper’s, it’s worse than even I thought. Holy cows…the greed is literally off the charts.
Oh. So you’re mentally ill. SSDI usually provides an inadequate income. But this has nothing to do with immigration.
I assume that otto is also mentally ill?
Alf? What about you?
You would assume.
Why not talk about immigration?
Go ahead.
I have said my piece about 40+ million illegal immigrants displacing native citizens from 39 million jobs. Unemployment is what around 50+ million, so getting rid of illegals would drastically cut that 50+ figure, but the illegals willingness to work for nothing encouraged both employers and the government to not regulate the minimum wage synching it with inflation and to kill union activities and laws that protect employees from unfair work practices. I have no problem with limited immigration with an emphasis on people who assimilate well with our American ideals and culture.
