When I got out of the military I didn't filed for disability when I got out, because I didn't want to be a "leach on the system." I was stupidly very libertarian back then. I completely regret it now. I'm 45 years old with the hearing and back of a 65 year old. Plus the $10k I've had to spend because of how bad they fucked my teeth.

The systems are there to support you. But jackasses like Reagan made us all not want to be "welfare queens" just so he could line his and his buddies pockets while they go off and be pedophiles. So get what support you need. There is no need to feel guilty for something you qualify for.

    Not even Ayn Rand stuck to that shit once she was eligible for Medicare and Social Security
