19. It is my husband who worked for that sandwich company.

I have not been able to get much since 2013. I have tried twice for SSDI and SSI and been shot down both times. Both were handled by attorneys. What they have done to my husband is perfectly legal. There are no laws against screwing over employees you don't like, as long as their methods are themselves legal. And, thanks to



our Congress will always err on the side of big money. They are not, nor were they ever, interested in the travails and problems of one person. Especially one who does not play their game and praise it to the skies. Especially one who has been trying to warn everyone about the forced worship of the green piece of paper. Nice to know that 5% of the population controls everything in the end, isn't it? (Equality my fat old ass...)

There is nothing else to do. Anything I try is going to be impossible to do in a sustained fashion. I can't sit for long, I can't stand for long, I can't walk for very long, etc., etc., etc. There is not a business in the world who would be willing to make the level of accommodations necessary for me to start anything anew. Not to mention the fact that I am losing mental ability and acuity. Start something new? I can't even function over the things I already know! Face it, when something stops working and there is no way to fix it you toss it. (Unless it is something 'collectable', then that gives it value. I am never going to be in that category, so... yeah.) That is reality.
