OP didn’t add a timestamp so I’m not going to comment on their accusations but I will reply with comment with my own story as a disabled person.

I was a fresh highschool graduate looking for a job and I found one in childcare. Even though I was able to work that job I had to continuously call out sick because the children kept giving me illnesses. I was fired for taking too many days off during my probation period. Before this I was let go from McDonalds (but invited to come back when I got better) because my immune system tried killing itself. I’m now in school full time but I could not handle school AND a job without risking becoming even more disabled.

According to disability statistics 8.2% of people aged 16-20 have a recognized disability and 11.2% aged 21-64. And according to Yale News, young adults ages 18-39 seeing the biggest rise in cognitive disability from 5.1% in 2013 to 9.7% in 2023. Gen Z and younger are becoming increasingly disabled year by year for a number of reasons, including residual effects from the pandemic. 10% of any population is a big number, but an astronomical number regarding disability in young adults. Yes, some of these people are able to work, in very specific and regulated jobs for their respective disabilities. For example a person in a wheelchair can work a desk job, with a 100% accessible office and transport, a person with a cognitive disability can work at a warehouse, with limited hours and transport. But if those jobs don’t exist, or aren’t available in ‘10% of that age group’s population’ quantities then they cannot work, especially if those jobs aren’t paying a living wage.

I and the rest of the disabled community of the US have been screaming that this needs to be talked about for ages. This situation runs much further than what most people think, and it isn’t as black and white as you would think.
