Edit: sorry, mistook you for the commenter I was replying to.
A financial situation is not a constant. You can improve it
Not with SSI's asset limits. I can't have net assets above $2000.
If you join the military with an eye towards law enforcement or healthcare
Because they let overweight schizophrenics in their mid-40s who've been on the government dole for almost two decades join the military.
Now I don't know your situation
So maybe you should have looked at my post history and seen some of my many, many posts here on the Motte talking about my situation before you posted this reply.
and maybe age or health preclude you from that.
No maybe about it.
But you /u/ThenElection claimed every single person who read your their comment could achieve that outcome. This is false. This is wrong. I am personally a counterexample.
What you they claimed is possible for absolutely everyone on the Motte without exception is not possible for me. Am I not a person on the Motte? Was I not one of "the You reading this comment"? Am I just a figment of someone's imagination or something?
You They were wrong. And you were wrong in blindly backing their position. And I both ThenElection's and your attitudes in blithely making such comments offensive. What, did you assume that nobody on here is disabled? Or, that any disabled person on here is obviously still employed in an upper-middle-class job despite that disability? Because of course only members of such social strata would ever frequent this place, and the poors are all too stupid or unsophisticated or uncultured to frequent this forum.
I mean, I'm getting kind of tired of the frequent classism here on the Motte. Where the idea of a member saying their "poor" somehow means they still can easily afford to drop ~$200 for a new bicycle every month (after the previous one is stolen), because if you couldn't afford even that "trivial" expense, then what are you even doing on the Motte? Shouldn't you be in front of the TV watching cars go around in circles like the other plebs?

and, in particular, you (you being the You reading this comment, not the particular you who wrote this comment) could be doing the same.
No, no I couldn't. (I've talked about my financial situation before.)
Only if you've never met a real Red-Triber. How does Singapore feel about the 2nd Amendment? Hunting? Sports fishing? ATVs? What are the local Protestant churches like in Singapore?
My "redneck" parents would find Singapore at least as hostile, stifling, and alien as any Blue city.
