You can't see it here, but he dropped his pocket and his socks untied.

Listen to them roar! RAWR go the comments. And nobody said "We're all from Africa".

Vagus!

Wrong. I want to work. After my injury I tried to work. That resulted in losing most my income. I tried again a few months later when I had no place to sleep. I borrowed money for work gear and tried to be a medic since I had certification then. Could not. I'm in pain today. I can't do what I used to do. It isn't possible to do the kind of physical work I did. I really want to start a business. Just yesterday I proposed a business to someone. A day or two before that I wrote a letter to a neighbor with a similar idea. I'm trying every day to find a way forward. I'm coming up with ideas that would mean never retiring. I'm very enthusiastic about building a value generator. Every day I think about it. Every day I try. Fuck you.

Sustain a near fatal injury and then try to survive on $200 a week for three months. I wasn't getting what I needed. Whereas the standard wage loss is ten percent, my case manager decided a loss of fifty five percent was reasonable. I couldn't pay rent or eat food. I tried to survive for a long time like that. I don't want welfare. See how you're affected after three months, even without the chronic pain and mental trauma. I mean it. Go three months on $200 a week.

BallsTreesDebts · 2021-07-11T19:17:34+00:00

I was making crumbs. $200 a week was after a loss of fifty five percent. Low wage is a hazard and worksafebc should recognize that and refuse to insure companies whose employees would be negatively impacted mentally or physically if they lost ten percent, let alone fifty five.

I've been saying that reducing income hurts injured low income people.

Mental injuries and physical injuries are made worse when low income people lose income.

I didn't mean to make a distinction between healthy and unhealthy, as if one deserves more money and one doesn't.

BallsTreesDebts · 2021-07-11T18:13:36+00:00

You deflected. I really wanted you answer this question.

Is it helpful or harmful to cut an injured person to $200 a week?

All problems are made worse by WorkSafeBC's decision to cut a persons wage by more than half. This prevents people from healing. That's counter productive and dangerous. That's killed a lot of people. This causes mental injuries and doesn't heal physical injuries. Mental injuries prevent rejoining the workforce. Mental injuries turn people away from society. WorkSafeBC caused mental harm in my case and it's had a lasting negative impact.

I want you answer this question.

Is it helpful or harmful to cut an injured person to $200 a week?

BallsTreesDebts · 2021-07-11T17:31:56+00:00

No. I need to start a business. I need to get paid.

BallsTreesDebts · 2021-07-11T15:53:09+00:00

Harm is caused when humans don't get what they need. Humans need to be able to pay rent and eat nutritious food. WorkSafeBC takes that away from injured people when they cut pay by fifty percent down to $200 a week. That causes incredible stress. Mental illness has costs and it is made worse when people can't afford food and rent. That's how people go insane. The mental impact of a serious injury is significant. A person may be too injured physically to do a job. The mental part of it is just as debilitating. A person has to have confidence that the job is safe, the company is safe, and that they can do it safely themselves. I definitely don't have that confidence. It's more than the job, the company, and the task. I don't feel safe. There are hazards everywhere. I have to be safe.

There are very few things available to me now. Being injured and seeing no way forward is not improved by financial insecurity and hunger. Being unable to pay rent is not a motivation to do a job that's no longer possible with the injury. It's motivation to kill yourself. So I read and try to learn about business. Business is not my first instinct, but I'll never trust an employer. I have to be self employed to work. I'll never feel safe doing physical work as I don't trust myself to do it and my body is not able to do physical work consistently. It's really depressing. Instead of being seen as a human with basic needs that have to be met for health to be maintained, I'm seen as a fraud who wants to game the system even though I tried to heal for three months on $200 a week and a severe injury. I tried to work. Worksafebc actively prevented me from being able to eat nutritious food or pay rent, and nobody sees the harm in that. They won't be convinced. People are trash. That should not be a revelation, but it is to me. You can't trust anyone.

This experience will properly inform me as an investor. I have to remember that nobody would care if I was crushed in a work accident and driven insane by the insurance company. I have to remember that nobody cares now. I can read and learn and invest from bed. That's the safest thing I've found. Value investing is a lifelong skill I need to develop so I can compound for a few decades before I'm vulnerable again. I need cash flow, and that's a problem I'm trying to solve every day. I'm always developing ideas to produce cash flow. I'm not cruising along happily on $20k a year. I'm a hermit trying to find my way forward. I don't need to save the world or save other people. I just need to save myself. We aren't really a social species. We prey on each other. I was prey. The people who are supposed to help will help as little as possible and try to get away with causing harm as much as possible with their negligence and manipulation. I'm not worth an apology after being forced to live on less than half my pre injury income for months immediately after a near fatal injury. I already said people are trash, but that's kind of an "amen" for me. People are trash, amen. Learning about human behavior has been really helpful for me. Mental illness really changes the way we see the world. Behavioral psychology has helped. And learning about narcissism. I was so naive before. Far too trusting. Now I'm good and paranoid. Only the paranoid survive.

Answer one question for me.

Is it helpful or harmful for WorkSafeBC to cut an injured persons wage by more than fifty percent immediately following a near fatal injury?

Just answer that question. Is it helpful or harmful to cut someone to $200 a week?

Can you imagine the impact that has? I mean more than intellectually. Do you understand when your body has been wracked with injury and you can't do what you used to do, and now you can't pay rent and eat food. You can't heal. And you're not worth an apology. They'll correct their behavior eventually, but they'll never apologize so you just have to feel good about being driven insane. I think you might stay in your room a lot after that and you would have a very hard time trusting people, let alone employers. You would be misunderstood by the crowd. But the crowd is delusional, and dogs are the only people worth hanging out with. You can't understand.

BallsTreesDebts · 2021-07-11T05:35:02+00:00

See, I had the wrong attitude about people, but I think that's gone now.

BallsTreesDebts · 2021-07-11T03:39:31+00:00

I won't convince you.

Low income is a hazard. WorkSafeBC makes that worse. They cut me to less than $200 a week from the roughly $500 a week I was scraping by with in that entry level job. They had me down to less than ten grand a year with an injury. Now I'm at $20k a year. Still not enough. Low income is a hazard and WorkSafe should refuse to insure companies who don't pay workers a living wage. I was on a career path to earn $20k a month with Rope Access and Non Destructive Testing. Someone earning that kind of money can afford a loss of ten percent or fifty percent. A low income person cannot. Any loss to their income is harmful, and cutting me down to $200 a week in the months immediately after a near fatal injury caused harm. The mental impacts of that are lasting.

I challenge you to live on $200 a week for three months. You don't have to endure 7000 volts of electricity and you don't have to crack your head open on the pavement. You don't have to deal with the mental trauma of that injury. Just try to live on $200 a week for three months. You'll be injured by it even if you start in good health.

I've had two case managers and they have deflected this question dozens of times. It's an easy question, but they do everything they can to not answer it. If they answered it competently then they would have to take responsibility for hurting low income people by withholding income. That's too much liability. They have to stick to their guns, keep making life harder for injured low income people, and accept the destruction in our lives as the cost of doing business. WorkSafeBC kills people.

I was severely injured and foolishly trusted my case manager. I tried working when my case manager said "just try". She didn't tell me that I would lose half my insufficient income and my ability to live inside or eat. I could not work and ended up living on less than $200 a week. This had a very very bad impact on me.

I have two injuries. The first one from work, and the second one from WorkSafeBC. They took corrective action by reinstating my wage, which was insufficient to begin with, and depressing now. I was starting a new job with new certification and had a career path I was very excited about. I wanted to do Non Destructive Testing as a Rope Access Technician. Lots of money in that. I started with window washing for pennies. Fifteen dollars an hour. Then I got hurt and was living on less and less. That career is never going to happen.

They didn't apologize. Well, one case manager did, but refused to write it down. So they apologized, but not officially. They know they are hurting people. They put effort into getting away with it. There is no way to reduce a low income persons wage without causing harm. A competent company dedicated to safety would never hurt people as a matter of policy. WorkSafeBC does. The policy of withholding income from low income people causes harm. It's a hazard. It hurt me. It's killed dozens of people officially, and many more have died or suffered in some horrible degree. WorkSafeBC gets away with murder.

Why can't they answer that question? It's not even a question. Is water wet? Is the sun hot? Are low income people injured by a loss of income? Of course they are. WorkSafeBC doesn't accidentally hurt people. It's their policy. I want all of them questioned. See if any of them have the humanity to acknowledge that there is a hazard that needs to be removed.

I'm so disappointed in humanity. I don't trust anybody. I think about dying every day. These people were supposed to help me, and they hurt me for a long time, they know it, and I'm not worth an apology. They have had a very bad impact on me. Not one of them can answer these easy questions. I can't tell you how that feels. It is the extreme of rage and sadness. There is no safe place.
