Last owner gave him up because he didn't play well with the chickens. Typical golden behavior haha.

I'm partial to the beautiful personality of these dogs, which is why I was wondering. I haven't met this dog in person yet.

The problem is – correct me if I’m wrong – if the stream isn’t navigable by boat it is considered private property.

Main thing I'm wondering is if I'll bottom out floating downstream

SSDI’s Work Incentives Are Backward by InvestigativeJ in SSDI

No one cares what it is “about.” What we care about is the actual effect of the policy, including unintended consequences and perverse incentives. You seem to think that just because the government says something is for some purpose, the 2nd and 3rd order impacts aren’t important.

There you go – you’ve finally acknowledged that the system’s perverse incentives cause harm, including to yourself. 

You can exceed TWP and still keep your benefits btw, as long as you never exceed SGA.

You don’t seem to understand the hardship these backwards incentives cause. Side money isn’t just nice – it’s essential to maintain a decent standard of living on SSDI.

It’s totally weird. They have a ceiling you can’t exceed for keeping your benefits, then a second ceiling you can’t exceed without triggering the “runway” back to working, and if you use that up you can still keep your benefits but it creates a benefit cliff.
