econ, disability
i think a lot about "meritocracy"
i think a lot about how the "meritocratic" promise of our society is "if you work hard enough you can give yourself all the opportunities you like"
i think about how, even if that were true (it's not), disabled people who can't hold jobs are permanently barred from those opportunities for something over which they will never have any control
"meritocracy" indeed

@typhlosion There's a _reason_ the phrase "disabled libertarian" only gets 350 hits in a Google search... and if you filter out two people, it goes down to 44.
re: econ, disability
@typhlosion Yup! I've shut down a LOT of arguments with right-wingers with that one. :D
