  They seem good, but as a disabled person who can’t work, the name is icky.

    Work is more then just wage labour. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.

      Well when politicians constantly use work and labour as a way to shore up support, it very quickly forgets and leaves behind those who can’t.

      “working people deserve a living wage” (does that imply non-working people don’t?)

        This is a “black lives matter” messaging situation. Just because working people deserve a living wage doesn’t mean other people don’t.

        It’s annoying that this isn’t obvious. But I agree that it’s not.

      That is completely untrue and shows you don’t really understand the complexity of disability.

      I literally cannot.

      I’m able to spend about 30 mins per day on my phone doing simple tasks.

      I’m completely bedridden and unable to speak, deaf, unable to tolerate much sound or light, tubefed and slowly dying.

      I cannot work.
