I didn't quit and because of that succeeded in spite of the obstacles. There is your example. Trust me... being on disability was an option and quite tempting. I wanted more out of life than to sit around letting others take care of me

You dont need to spend that sort of money to make it so a wheelchair person can use the pooper. Govt regulations require you spend that sort of money. Therein lies the problem.

Granted I only have 5 decades of perspective but I have noticed people who get lucky tend to be the ones who dont quit. The ones who quit tend to call those who dont quit lucky.

Why should society be bailing out the banks who loan money to folks who cannot afford it then turn around and bail out people who borrow money and cannot afford it ? If you are broke file bankruptcy and reset your life. Quit trying to steal

No, I think we incentivize poor people to not work. ( I have been poor and the benefits you get are better than many jobs right now) I also believe the corporations having rights of a human without the punishment is a problem on that side.
