We must do away with the absolutely specious notion that everybody has to earn a living.

[Zorra]

36. Maybe a bit off topic, but republicans force severely developmentally disabled

and folks with severe autism to do "busy work" as repayment for the benefits we provide for them. It's the "even if the work is not necessary, they need to get the boots on and earn their keep" attitude.

This is fine with the folks who really can, and want, to work, but the system forces some of these folks who are not capable of doing busy work, or absolutely hate doing it, to do "busy work", usually tasks that frustrate them.

And the bureaucracies created around these systems require "proof" that these folks are working to "earn their keep" also require stupid amounts of paper work from different departments and/or agencies, and unnecessary administrative, and staff, time and energy.

In the case of non-profits, republican legislators repeatedly cut budgets, while expect more "busy work", out of everyone involved in providing service to developmentally disabled and/or folks with severe autism.

Republicans live in an authoritarian fantasy world, and should never be allowed to have any control of any part of social service endeavors.

End of rant.
