for example, my father was a 9/11 first responder. as a result of the 100 days (13 hour shifts) he worked down there, picking up the melted body parts of his friends might i add, he has a lot of lung problems and couldn't continue to work. it took him a DECADE... a ****ing DECADE to be approved for disability. his department and government looked him in the eye for ten years, every 2 to 3 weeks, and told him "oh, you just have allergies, sorry, you don't qualify for disability". this government doesn't give a **** about any of us. this country won't stand behind anyone, even if you stand behind it in the most extreme and noble way possible. after thousands of dollars in legal fees, thousands of dollars in missed pension and overtime, a law was finally passed a few months ago that granted him a disability check. it's sickening. ****ing ten years later. /rant
Yep, sickening is definitely the word. Government is just another arm of corporation now anyway, banking just one big ponzi scheme. You need a revolution over there, quick time. Weird thing is that to keep slaves happy you should always ensure they have the minimum required to live (ie. food, water, shelter etc). Seems like the government is just brazenly ****ing people now, and not too bothered about the repercussions.
Anyway, sorry for off-topic rant, but this **** really bothers me.
