as he did the middle class once elected.

I must have missed that.

The only thing I recall him saying about people with disabilities was "Nobody wants to see that" (talking about disabled vets) - that and telling his nephew Fred Trump III that he should let his disabled son die.

If he said anything about doing something for people with disabilities, I'm sure it was a lie.

Even the minimum wage is obscene but far better.

The poverty level and minimum living wages are also too low, but let's get this depression-era artifact killed.

with SSDI or other benefits.

My sister is developmentally disabled and has a mental age of say 13 months. She gets a penny a sheet of paper that she shreds but she never does all that much, she has the coordination of a 8 year old, and the attention span of an infant. It takes more support to get her to do her 'work' than anything she can do. But I'm sure this loophole needs to be tightened up to prevent abuse.

I am still working part time after becoming an empty nester at that low level service job because the hours are flexible, it is close to home, and I enjoy most of the customers. However, a few of my completely non-disabled coworkers from day one have constantly worked slowly/poorly with no consequences. That has lead to disgruntled coworkers picking up the slack and eventually leaving for comparable work and pay elsewhere. While the performance of a coworker making the same, or nearly the same as you, but doing much less shouldn't really affect you, somehow it does. Other minimum wage employees leaving because they feel even more undervalued for the work they do could be a concern.

I appreciate employers giving everyone a chance. My local grocery employs many other employers would not. Those workers are wonderful and obviously take pride in being able to assist customers. They deserve at least minimum wage, and the employer might get some sort of subsidy hiring them? I have seen workers at Goodwill that are able to help, but to a lesser extent. It takes them much much longer to do simple tasks, some tasks that must be rechecked. Should they be making minimum wage? I thought part of those jobs was to provide training, skills, and social interaction which leads to some feeling of independence. That does have a value, and I don't think one should consider in those situations the worker is being taken advantage of if paid somewhat less than minimum wage.

I agree some legislation is needed to prevent abuse of using sub-minimum wage, but perhaps not limiting it altogether.

We know that Commissar Paxton is already preparing a lawsuit to give to his favorite stooge Kaczmaryk...or will it be Reed O'Connor overturning this order?

No one should be working for sub minimum wages.

Then you would have to report it because as it is now you're essentially punished if you try.
First because they will take money away from you if you're an over a certain amount right now and it's pretty low amount of that and the second is you also risk losing your disability because they could then review you and say screw you.

Thanks Joe. The sooner the better.
