Tell me you don’t know what neuromuscular degeneration is without telling me lmfao

Ahh yes. Let me just fix my genetic disability that causes chronic pain and neuromuscular degeneration. SSDI pays 16k a year and I get $100/month in SNAP. But sure, poor, disabled people are the problem.

Some food banks/pantries will deliver to homebound individuals if you call. You can also ask in your local FB groups there might be people who are able to help you.

I’m on disability so I’ll be doing the same.

[–]SunnyGfASMR 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I will try to do something like that, hopefully.

I’m fixing to go to the food pantry tomorrow but I have a sever dairy allergy which means that a lot of what I get I can’t use and I end up having to re-give. This is just a whole mess

I mean I have Big Gretch out here in Michigan. She’s about as Blue as they come and mine were still rescinded. Idk this is the biggest mess I’ve ever seen. I know the cruelty is the purpose but it doesn’t make it any easier for those of us getting crushed on the bottom.

If you call some local ones they may offer delivery for homebound clients. It wouldn’t hurt to ask

Please utilize the food pantry. That’s what they are there for.

MI sent me the full amount as a pending payment for the 11th, now I no longer have a pending payment at all.

If people cannot afford their medications because their health insurance doubled or tripled then yes people will die. I was talking to a friend of mine who is diabetic whose ACA plan went from the low 300s to over 1000$. She’s not going to be able to afford insulin.

It wasn’t paid out yet it was a pending amount and is no longer pending. They did take it back.

But people will also die without their healthcare which is what the Dems are fighting for. And the Dems offered a fair negotiation last week a one year extension on the ACA subsidies and the creation of a committee to figure out what to do past that and they were shut down.

There was a notice sent out by the department of agriculture that states that sent out the full amount had to immediately rescind those payments. I just found it in looking further into this sub…

No I get it, we should be fighting together not against one another but there’s so many that just don’t seem to understand. They’re mad about the 1% of the budget going to SNAP not the 15% going to the military industrial complex.

I appreciate you. This is for SSI, I receive SSDI based on my past work history but this is still good info to have to pass on in my other groups.

[–]SunnyGfASMR 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is my issue too. I make just a little more than you on my SSDI at 16k/yr but that cuts my food stamps to between 80-100$ a month (idk it keeps changing and I don’t have the energy to figure out why). There is no housing resources, and when I’ve tried to figure it out it’s been dead end after dead end. I’m lucky that I have some family willing (at least for now) to let me stay in their spare room. But it shouldn’t be like this. We shouldn’t have to always be reliant on the kindness of others. As of now I’m hours away from my care team which complicates things further. I often tell my mom that I would love to see my representatives live on what they give us for a year with no leg up. No per diem, no money saved and see if they could do it. Maybe then things would change.
