as a disabled person IN Appalachia, his views are so extremely common here and it's honestly so saddening cause I am constantly treated like I'm 1/2

I’m on disability with a mental health diagnosis. I’m kind of disappointed in Mr Global because I follow him and he’s usually spot on in his observations of different topics. Hey Mr G can you respond?

Most people get denied disability 3 times. They REALLY don’t want to pay. After 3 rejections legal aide will represent for free. To get so little.

When people use stats wrong it grinds my gears. Correlation is not causation.

The process of getting disability status was exhausting and horrible to go through, and I have to argue every couple years that I should still receive

Thank you for all you do. My mother was on disability after she was widowed and dying of cancer. She was still denied at first.

I have been working on getting disability for 4 years. Who knew all I needed to do was move to Appalachia to get it. /s

It is so so so hard. The system just does not believe you when you say you’re disabled. And if they don’t believe you, nothing else matters.

As a WVian, I think it's also important to point out that Appalachia depends on very dangerous work. Coal, lumber, pipelines...

The only time corporations are involved is if they offer short term or long term disability and in cases of workman’s comp. He’s conflating.

That was my question! I asked him, then why is it so hard for those of us who truly need this ability to actually get it?

It’s insane to me that people think that way. Disability is hard to get on top of it it’s forced poverty and so much more too.
