NeeAnah[Musk Reposted Meme Calling Americans Who Use Federal Programs the Parasite Class.]Americans who use federal programs still purchase things, pay for rent, go to the doctor, own cars, pay for gas, etc. All these things go back to the system that keeps society in America going. Low income people, disabled people, LGBTQ, POC, all still keep society going. It's crazy how they just don't see that. Or refuse to see that. My having PTSD provides a job for my therapist. Amongst all her other patients. My back issues, provide work for my physical therapist. Same thing for my doctor, nutritionist, and dentist. I may not work as much as people who are greedy and lack common sense. But my ailments provide work for people who need to make a living. All of us keep the world going. <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/justmythoughts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#justmythoughts</a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/socialism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#socialism</a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/federalprograms" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#federalprograms</a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/elite" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#elite</a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/EatTheRich" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#EatTheRich</a>
