This aligns with the #DEI discussion. If you live long enough, you will become disabled.
Most #disabled people can work. As a #country, the #US (being a hotbed of #capitalism), believes that it's better for disabled folks to be #taxpayers than #tax burdens. This goes along with the idea that you "earn" a living by being employed. There are many programs available to upskill disabled folks, and not all are #government-funded.
That said, many employers are under the misguided impression that disabled people want jobs they are not qualified for. And that hiring a disabled person is an act of charity.
I'm a #blind man. I graduated with honors from a community college. My degree is in #computer #programming. I am also a licensed #insurance agent in my state. And, I spent over six years working as an administrative professional. In previous live, I was a #tax professional, working at a kiosk in a Walmart. I've also done web development, and supervised a technical support team for a dial-up ISP.
I'm currently unemployed. I ran out my state's benefits a few months ago. I've been applying for jobs, and going to job fairs. I've even had a few interviews.
I wonder... /
