"if a man will not work, he shall not eat" dude !!! That used to be comunist party slogan in my country
yes but those programs are abused by those who refuse to work
So the problem is the people abusing
Big time problem
is it, or is the problem that we don't have clear enough methods of making distinctions between those abusing and those with actual limitations?
Would be both in that case no?
one is a problem the other is a symptom
Or rather when I say the problem is the people abusing is that the problem is about the people abusing
a problem is something that can be solved
hard to catch people that are abusing it without having surveillance on them 24/7
is it though?
yeah cuz without having them watched how do you know they arent acting/lying
The commies used to make ppl surveil each other
Their favorite trick was to coerce school children to grass their own family
grass?
i would argue that that is again a problem with our methods, or ways of measuring, our ability to gain knowledge.
"Tell on"
Well are you giving disability purely based on trust?
if they can act or lie their way into a disability.
its just hard to tell what is wrong with someones body with our technology. some problems you cant see even with MRI's and Xrays
i agree, was my point.
Reminds me, a guy I used to know was pulled out of school at age 14 and was never home schooled by his parents so his parents could collect welfare later on.
we would need some form of technology that could tell when something actually caused someone pain like in their joints or whatever else their complaint is that is keeping them from working
Wel it would be helpful, but I don't think it's necessary to reduce the issue.
Is there generally anything severe enough where you can''t work any kind of job and it can't be measured?
A start would be to introduce gradients rather than a simple binary.
sure, you have limitations, but your limitations aren't so bad, so you get some help
from my understanding there is.
its not like oh his leg doesnt work well so he cant work at all
my understanding is that person would not get any aid, because he can work
the current system is if you can work, even if you are messed up, no aid. You have to be so messed up you cannot work, to get full aid.
so a binary
i mean my mom has cerebral palsy and got SS but not the full amount someone that was completely unable to work got.
really? Hmm. Never heard of that, I've heard of differences caused by ssi vs ssdi...
You can be deemed incompetent by the state and get a lot, incompetentcy can just be idiocy which is terrible in my opinion. Should just be mental handicaps
That is another thing, mental health is a major issue that just gets band aids on it.
sure, but a lot of that is still not well understood, and is a lot of trial by error.
doesn't mean nothing should be done, ofc.
That's the thing, is it should be worked towards being well understood
NO, we need the perfect solution... Reeee
