You know what's mad. My brother in law on benefits blames other people on different benefits

Bumper cars style, no weapons, just wheels.
My step dad, on disability for his knees, yelling about single mothers getting food stamps.

Oh yeah, I’ve hit the jackpot, too. Full disability benefits that barely pay for my rent and utilities, but I have to choose between food and meds. All it costs me is constant diarrhoea, vomiting, seizures, fainting, and debilitating pain so I can’t leave the house.

Vent away. It does my head in too
