Facing Uncertainty: Navigating Disability and Government Trust

These are Brian Schnabel’s personal reflections on financial planning, disability rights, and government trust amid political instability and potential Social Security challenges in the United States. This blind Goldberg Realty Assoc tenant has a plan.

I’ve gotten the bills paid, Dad’s check deposited and cleared (it having finally arrived on Monday), and another page posted to his website regarding the Camaro he wants to sell. I hear, too, that the House is going to vote to reopen the government today, too.

I have a plan in place should the idiots that run this country throw the Senior and Disabled communities under the bus again in the name of Wokeism or any other political agenda. “It will be a cold day in hell before I let the United States Government fuck up my credit!”

So, I plan. I’ve considered taking out a personal loan to get the things I know I’ll need to replace in the next year or so, which helps me function efficiently in my day-to-day life. The tools us blind people use for efficient functioning aren’t exactly cheap. But I’m going to hold off on that.

Sure, I could just pay for it out of the slush fund. But if politics keep going the way they are going, personal loans have a much higher minimum payment due than credit cards.

As things stand now, I can keep the ball rolling in a worst-case scenario (If Social Security fails) for about six months and three months if things get really bad (my landlord turns into a bigger douchebag than he already is because HUD has failed too). However, I could extend my line of credit to match the full value of my annual benefits and personal income. Some banks have already made offers that would give me that option. However, I hesitate to pull the trigger on doing that just yet. But if congress fucks up again at the end of January, I definitely will.

True, if the worst-case scenario plays out for an extended period, no amount of credit will save me, or anyone. Neither will having an unlimited supply of cash on hand. With so many businesses and organizations depending on government for at least a portion of their stability, well… There won’t be any cops or judges at work by the time I start missing the minimum payments. At that point, too, the rest of society just might learn the hard way just how predatorial some of us blind people really can be when pushed.

As it is, people like me now have no doubt in our minds that the government isn’t to be trusted., people like Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer are bigots caught up in their own power over others, the President of the United States is too wealthy to care about the trust this country’s most vulnerable have lost in government under his leadership. So long as everyone with a disability in Donald J. Trump’s family has what they need, the rest of us can go to hell, “Right?”

I didn’t ask for my financial situation to shape up the way it did over the years. I didn’t ask for a lot of things. There are still benefits I could apply for, even though I feel I have what I need.

Things would be so much different and so much more cost effective for even government if the Americans with Disabilities Act was enforceable and the rest of the country was truly as Woke as everyone pretends America to be. But, after this latest government shutdown, only an idiot is blind to the fact that the ADA and other laws like Section 504 designed to protect the disabled population are just formalities. They were clearly just a show for the general public so politicians could get what they wanted and a feel-good measure that the average elected ignoramus can point to when challenged without even knowing what it’s all about in the first place.

Fuck this government and the “elected” treasonous cock suckers who think it’s ok to set up sanctuary cities and states where America’s enemies can come into this country illegally and arrange our downfall. Clearly this is what everyone wants though, “Right?”

Even Donald J. Trump hasn’t demanded any official of a sanctuary city or state be Cort marshaled for their traitorous actions “while in office”. And why is that Mr. Trump? Is it because you are in on the slow dismantling of this country? “How much money did you get to allow this all to go on?”

Of course, The Donald puts on a good show of caring. But the American public is too stupid to see what’s really going on here, too. We protest when a biological boy is denied the right to play in biological girl sports despite the clear inequities there. We protest when abortion rights are threatened. “But hang 42,000,000 people out to dry over an argument on how to best fund health care and that’s fucking ok?”

Just keep defending the mass murders and rapes Isreal’s neighbor perpetrated against them. Keep doing your No King’s protests. Keep showing support for a nation that is run by Hezbollah.

This country is sick. The people who run it are sick. Common sense is dead. “My faith in anyone to do right is gone.”

The only thing that brings me peace enough to sleep at night is what runs through my veins. If I am threatened, I will know. I can remotely influence to some extent, too, to get what I need. But fix this mess we call America? “How do you fix a society who has lost all sense of human decency?”

We’re lost and no one sees that, and those who say they do are lying. I know this to be true because if it wasn’t I’ve have heard reporters from media networks like Fox News or CNN interviewing way more than just pissed off people at the airport. Congress and the President would have screaming people on their doorstep right now if folks understood just how disposable we all are to them.

But the average American isn’t doing or saying a damn thing about any of this because the disabled population is disposable to the average American, too. As long as they’re not next, or never become disabled themselves, it doesn’t matter. It will only be when they find out “they’re” only a commodity, “Then they might actually do something.”
