@yyzsxm @Toulla101 @pawprints1986 @fordnation SO many things to hit at with this

There are 500,000 on #ODSP.
if its that easy, why are there only a couple hundred on here fighting, some of which aren't even ON odsp, their just fighting for those who are ?

What does that say about their ability to "tweet all day" ? 1/12

@yyzsxm @Toulla101 @pawprints1986 @fordnation do you know how much physical effort it takes to type out a tweet ? next to none. I can tweet with my left hand while brushing my tweet with my right while tap dancing if i was so inclined to do so.. do you think the people on ODSP are able to do the same ? 2/12

@yyzsxm @Toulla101 @pawprints1986 @fordnation you can literally tweet from the toilet while having an obstructed bowl attack.. do you think you could work, that you could put proper effort in to a job that someone would pay you for, while your stomach feels like its twisting inside out at random ? - (hint, nope !) 3/12

@yyzsxm @Toulla101 @pawprints1986 @fordnation Have you considered that some people have social anxiety.
it can be EXTREMELY crippling to the point they can't leave their homes and it transfers beyond physically meeting.
it can also involve ANY interaction with another person including over cpu. crippling panic attacks 4/12

@yyzsxm @Toulla101 @pawprints1986 @fordnation And what about cancer patients ?
Should we just hook them up to the interferon and bring a laptop to them, tell them they have to get their emails sent on time or else ?

have you ever been though cancer treatment ?
have you ever had to fight for your life ? 5/12

@yyzsxm @Toulla101 @pawprints1986 @fordnation And then have to fight the government to give you enough food to live.. and when they won't because they have forgotten how to care, fight ignorant people who say "you should be able to work anyways" - so instead of just fighting their condition to stay healthy.. 6/12

@yyzsxm @Toulla101 @pawprints1986 @fordnation their fighting fools like you who doesn't know shit.

I don't know if your 12 or 51..
but at some point you have or have had grandparents.
at least 1 of them, statistically has gotten or will get really old.

think of the last year of their life..
should they have worked ? 7/12

@yyzsxm @Toulla101 @pawprints1986 @fordnation with their mental or physical condition, do you think anyone would hire them to do anything ?

could they be relied upon to show up everyday ?
on time ?
and be paid for it ?

some on odsp do work. (about 7%)
most WANT to work.
Most can't. 8/12

@yyzsxm @Toulla101 @pawprints1986 @fordnation Last time I checked, unless your a social media consultant handling political leaders or entertainers twitter accounts..
NO ONE is going to pay you to tweet all day.

Ever been in a car accident ?
a bad one ?
do you know the range of damage it can do to you ? 9/12

@yyzsxm @Toulla101 @pawprints1986 @fordnation have you ever pulled out your back ?
have you ever broken it ?

try working with the feeling of a compressed L3 and L4 disk, making your ribcage feel like its on fire.
hard to take a full deep breath.
being scared to cough because your worried it'll break you even worse.

@yyzsxm @Toulla101 @pawprints1986 @fordnation Have you ever put yourself in to someone else's shoes and really thought about what THEY are going through ?

..a social experiment.
go outside.
find a brick.. take off your shoe, pick up the brick and drop it on your foot.

then try to perform any normal task of your day.

@yyzsxm @Toulla101 @pawprints1986 @fordnation I just banged out these twelve tweets in 5 minutes.
its more then some on ODSP tweet in a week.
its more then some tweet out in a month.

Think about that.
