    Rando gets an extra zero is one thing. Getting disability is nearly impossible. I wasted years trying, they gave me a lump sum and then denied the ongoing claim. I’ve spent 80% of every day in bed for 10 years. When my folks die, I will buy a bullet with whatever is left in the bank. Disability doesn’t pay close to minimum wage and no one is living off of minimum wage. Anything given to people in this circumstance should be written off. Anyone in my situation should be buying a second bullet for the assholes coming after people like this. I was just riding a bicycle to work when I got hit. I rode to help save money for my daughter. Providing less than it takes to survive in a country with over 750 criminal billionaires is just as bad as the Nazis sending the disabled to gas chambers. The misery is just strewn out longer in one case.
