They think a great deal of their position; don't let one of them ever persuade you he doesn't, for if you were to proceed on that basis you'd be pulled up very short."

This is why I think it isn’t about getting disabled people “into work.”
The reality is, they just want to cut off support to disabled people and then blame disabled people for it.

Not only is it fucking ridiculous to expect disabled people to be working more - THERE'S NO FUCKING JOBS. There's no jobs for non-disabled folk let alone disabled people! No-one is going to hire disabled people when 20+ non-disabled people apply for each job!

New technologies increase productivity, but you don't get a shorter work day. Lifespans increase, but the retirement age gets pushed back. Under capitalism, every advancement just leads to further exploitation.
"As lifespans increase, people have to prepare, mentally and financially, to work well into their 70s and 80s," per WSJ

The real reason why people don’t want minimum wage workers to be able to afford housing, food and utilities working those jobs is because of classism They look down on those jobs and they don’t think that people who work those jobs should be able to live the same life as them

One of the most effective ways to keep people from questioning an unjust system is to convince them that their ability to survive it makes them morally superior to those who can't.

People very willingly went along with the bourgeoisie's push to sweep millions of COVID related deaths and mass disablement under the rug while also accepting deregulation of food, medicine and infrastructure, then wonder why things "feel" different.
I swear SOMETHING broke in society after 2020—and nobody really talks about it.
Not masks. Not lockdowns. Not COVID.
I mean the FEELING of life.
Everything reopened. We went back to work. Restaurants filled up. Events came back.
But life still feels… different.
Years disappear faster. People feel more disconnected. Everything feels more expensive, more stressful, more rushed.
And somehow everyone is exhausted all the time.
I can’t even explain exactly what we lost.
I just know life before 2020 felt more ALIVE.
Tell me I’m not the only one who feels this.
