me, yet again. id love to work. thing is...im up against...late stage capitalism, lol. not that im a marxist, just...wow. its rough out there, isn't it? just trying to be realistic...

on the plus side, there's some growth in skilled blue collar jobs in my area. by some miracle, there's even a union or two (unheard of, until recently...).

im hoping that I can get off disability. I appreciate what's left of the safety net, but...OK, one can only stay on disability if one stays sick. I'd really like to become genuinely well...not sick, but tranquilized.

but disability has been a godsend, absolutely. beats a group home or what's left of the state hospital, definitely.
