Screw the 'safety net'....

Just a random thought, the 'safety net' that we talk about needing in our society is a horrible image. It plays into wing-nut talking points about government making it a trap.

We need a floor.

A basic simple level floor that we won't allow people to fall below.

Small personal good news....

Received SSDI approval, did not even realize what a weight that was until after it was lifted.


Now on to next project-requesting information, knowledge, and suggestions for 55 year old returning college student. The way I messed up in college, if you can imagination a way to do it wrong I probably did it, is the largest repairable(?) mistake in my life.

The loose plan is to start with 1 or2 online courses. Financing, studying, and working around disable are all areas I could use as much wisdom as possible. Additional if there's anything I should beware of, but might not know, please be free to point it out.

Thank you for your time reading this.
