The Supplemental Security Income program (SSI) was created in 1972 under the Nixon administration to provide financial support to low-income seniors and disabled people. An effort to federalize state-level adult support programs across the country, SSI is a means-tested program—there are financial requirements to be eligible. In the case of SSI, as of its last adjustment in 1989, enrollees cannot have savings of more than $2,000 as an individual or $3,000 as a family. Furthermore, SSI beneficiaries are prohibited from having retirement accounts, life insurance policies, certain types of personal property, funeral/burial policies, and access to other types of income.

I keep saying it: modern day Sparta.

The US loves finding new ways to try to purge the “weak” from society and a scary amount of US citizens think this is a good thing to try to prevent “the weak” from surviving.

If anyone unironically believes in the law of the jungle, they should be forced to return to monke.

Aktion T4 but instead of giving you the dignity of a bullet to the head they make you crawl on your knees begging for life as the machine slowly weighs down on you.
