It's not like we didn't know all this years ago...

I'm afraid I'm old enough to really see what they mean by history repeating itself.
But Deja Vu etu?.

I was partially disabled a while back. I was freed temporarily from worrying about the monthly paycheck. Not a large settlement mind you-but it was the 1st time in decades I felt creative.

Since I have learned to explore my metalworking & design skills. I have enough work now to help pay some bills. But as a auto mechanic I would have never started designing/building small parts on the side. I needed freedom to create-a very precious commodity nowadays.


Frankly my disability turned out to be a blessing. But I don't think othes should have to go quit that far to get some breathing room.

I remember an America where working hard was a promise you would succeed. That promise was broken-on purpose-by Reagan & the Grover Norquists of the world.
