      People die while waiting for social security benefits to be approved, it is a feature and not a bug. Fuck this system that says you can’t even have $2k worth of combined assets without losing your benefits. Or that half of your spouse’s income is “deemed” to you and cuts into your benefits.

            Just remember that the only people who can fight the best fight for disability equality right now are people who are not disabled.

        And that $2k figure has been the same since the late 80s. Adjusted for inflation, it would be over $5k now.
