I'm not working. I'm disabled and stuck in a wheelchair after working all my life. I need new knees and shoulders and live with a great deal of pain. There is nothing I'd like more than to be working and was still working after having a heart attack and being sent home to die. I haven't been able to walk for more than 2 years and it's very frustrating. I receive Social Security and am a Medicaid patient. So it's your assertion that I shouldn't be allowed to vote? I think I've earned my right to vote as a law abiding citizen. I have a problem with able bodied people who have even a modicum of intelligence sitting on their butts while getting public assistance. I believe in workfare and would like to see it implemented by a Trump administration and used as part of his promise to rebuild the country's infrastructure. Heck, put the able bodied welfare recipients to work cleaning up their neighborhoods. ?( ?_?)?


Maybe they could get you some training in something that you can do
sitting down. There were a number of disabled folks in the computer
biz, even before they were a protected class. Not complaining, just
suggesting you might find something that fulfills you a bit more and
makes you some bucks.



The problem is how I feel from day to day. I don't know if I'll be up to doing anything on a regular schedule. Some days I'm in so much pain and feel so bad that I don't get out of bed, except for bathroom breaks. I'm actually helping a guy get his business going by finding material for jobs and ordering it. He just completed installing a fiber optic link in a 30 story building to link a network on the top floor to a network on the bottom floor. I found and ordered all the material for that job because I understand all the specs and what's involved with such work because of my experience. I'm trying to compile a customer list for him to call on from my old customers and JH's old customers. I'm trying to find a deal on insurance for him so he can get work from national service companies that use independent service techs. I can help, I just can climb ladders or crawl under anything anymore. It's frustrating as hell.ヽ(à²*_à²*)ノ
