SSI, foodstamps, medical assistance, section 8 housing, CADI workers, IHS workers. All of these things and more help me support myself and be in a group home again. I can’t work, so I can’t move.
Yo I recognize you from the last time I tried to say not everyone can easily move countries and you were like “it’s as easy as buying a plane ticket for a hundred bucks and you’re set”. I think you really need to look into how you empathize with people and realize that not everyone is you. The reality is moving is quite difficult for most people already, and now you’re in a chronic illness community basically telling people their struggles are imagined
“this is not about visiting but about moving.”
this tweet is still fundamentally incorrect.
The distinction you’re making between traveling and moving is impractical in the real world.
“In most countries it’s impossible to get residency if you’re on disability benefits.”
you do not need to get residency to move somewhere.
“And for a lot of us we’re unable to travel”
“a lot”? sure.
“most”? no.
a lot of abled people can’t travel.
but most abled people can.
a lot of people cannot travel.
most people can.
Hey friend this is a support group for disabled people not a place to spout your unsourced opinions on disability. Perhaps read the sidebar.

if someone cannot work how do you expect them to move and support themselves in a new country?
If someone cannot work, how do you expect them to support themselves in the country they currently live in?
