It'll be easy to take to the streets one I'm living there, right? Folks who got fired recently and can't find new jobs are gonna be in the same boat soon enough.
I feel like it's a tactical mistake on the administration's part to make so many people desperate and have quite literally nothing to lose, while giant protests are forming already, but hey, I'm not a billionaire, so what do I know?
[EDIT: To clarify, I've been receiving SSDI for over 2 years, this time - it's my 2nd time being on it, because I tried to return to the workforce once before and couldn't maintain adequate helathcare to keep working when it was dependent on employer whims (fuck me, right?).
The 'pause' is for 2 months, for what amounts to a little under 2 months of my current benefit in 'overpayment' due to their internal error. Technically, I SHOULD be able to get these waived, because I am poor AF, but there is no one to process the form, and I haven't even gotten all the notifications I need from them in order to submit the waiver request yet - I only know because the website is faster than physical mail.
A 2 month pause in all income, when I was already on SNAP? Yeah, not really something I can adapt to.]
[[EDIT 2:
