   Whatever help we're getting from the government is being destroyed.
   #Disabled people are, obviously, disabled differently, and have differences in what each of us can and can't do. I can't organize this idea, so I hope someone else can. We should team up in groups. What one disabled person can't do, another can. If we arrange the groups correctly, everyone in the group could be helped where they struggle, and provide help where they're strong.

     I doubt it'll be enough, but it can certainly mitigate.

     I'm not sure how to explain where I struggle... communicating that IS one of my struggles.
     But I do know some of my strengths.
     I fix! Mostly computers, fairly strong in other electronics, and if I have the tools, parts, and access to info, I can do basic repairs on a lot of things from busted outlets, to minor car repair, to minor plumbing, to mechanical things. I'm good at visualizing how things go together to function. It's why I'm good at laptop repair, even if I've never seen a certain model

     Aside from keeping my shelter, my highest priority need when the income goes away is incontinence management.
     Actually, I consider that highest priority over all my other needs because unmanaged incontinence makes getting other resources damn near impossible and poses serious health risks.

     @roknrol I think this needs to include assisting those who might have been able to muddle through on their own at a job. Those of us who can work for income need to be able to focus on that, and whatever recharges them, instead of chores. Cause there's no getting around the fact that helping disabled people takes money.

     @hellomiakoda I think it's a good idea; coming up with reasonable tags might be worthwhile, since we're global here. Consistency would probably help....well...everyone lol.
