Disabled people deserve a living wage

This means there shouldn’t be ridiculous limits on how much someone can make while on disability benefits

I’d like to add that this also means acknowledging that being disabled is often expensive, and thus should actually be given proportionately more to ensure they can afford expenses like wheelchairs, medically prescribed diets, prosthetics, modified vehicles, and accessible housing as needed for their condition.

This also means abolishing the idea that you should have to work 40 hrs a week and give up on rest and recovery time and leisure time to support yourself. It means criticizing not only that the minimum wage cant support a single person at 40 hours a week rn, but that is also a lacking measurement in and of itself since many disabled people who can work cant work that long and still have any quality of life to speak of.
