As a legally blind person living on disability specifically ssdi you might as well not work because any money you make gets deducted from what you receive and I'd be working just to make the money back from food stamps that will be taken from me also the rent will go up so there's really no point in even getting any on the books job. The other option is cash jobs on Craigslist that I have no buisness doing as a legally blind person but unfortunately I've attempted atleast a dozen of them and met every type of felonious shit eating fuck of a boss that would hire a disabled person just to take advantage of them. My latest attempt at trying to work caused me to lose a finger and I've had other accidents like having a tree limb fall and hit my lower back like a baseball bat that left a welt for months and stepping on rusty nails or the one time I got cellulitis because I cleaned out a dead woman's house that hadn't been touched by anyone in years. So tell me why I should work again?
I dont have any skills beyond what I can be used for doing labour work and also people will argue here that I'm stealing from the government but you try to live on $700 a month and tell me how you like it. I supplement my nothing of an income by donating plasma 8 times a month for an extra $500 a month which is the best I can do for myself financially. I've been donating plasma for 6 years now and I'll keep doing that until my veins blow out
I was born legally blind with optic nerve hyper platia I'm blind in one eye with nystagmus that causes my eyes to shake which is great for any customer service position dealing with people and really cool for employers to see in an interview. I can't drive and I have a clear seeing distance of 6 feet in front of my face and I can only read and type if I'm 2 inches away from the screen. I deserve every penny of my social security income and I have the right to be disabled and just figure out what makes me happy in life and working for fucking assholes is not it.
