Mapping the Growth of Disability Claims in America
 

Bloomberg had an interesting article on this.

Bloomberg Article

What I couldn't help but laugh at is how it is strongly coorelated where the black lives, my source being consensus.gov.

This may be in poor taste but GFY is the one place I know I can get away with being a bit of a bigot. :) :1orglaugh

Funny how the Republican South are the ones abusing disability benefits with 20% of the population (twice the black population total) on benefits and not working. :1orglaugh

Your maps don't really match up well at all.. I'd say a better test would be match that up to areas that have been under Republican control for more than 10 to 20 years..

Bingo!

I know a white guy collecting disability as a mental case working under the table not reporting any income nor paying taxes. Big Trump booster too.

The will be hell to pay for these guys. SSI has become a gravy train scam in a lot of cases. Lawyers specialize in gaming the system for these fake claimants -- probably get payments from the benefit recipient's first settlement from the initial denial.

I don't have a problem with anyone truly disabled and needy collecting SSI regardless of race. I got another white guy I know, chronic alcoholic, now 62 that wants to start Social Security. He never paid in, worked under the table -- I said they will let you claim SSI then and get your EBT card.

The Republicans will come after these guys and let them starve begging for charity -- oh well. Something good may come out of MAGA -- the unexpected.

Most of that chart on the Bloomberg link is in rural areas ...

Close enough for me to have a laugh at it. :1orglaugh

I don't have any outright hatred for blacks, but in general they tend to act a certain way.

Stereotypes exist because they are generally true, here is an example to test this.

"Those Germans sure drive slow on the autobahn, man, slower than my Grandma," people look around like I'm crazy. "What are you talking about?"
No matter how hard I tried that rumor/stereotype would never fly because it isn't true at all!

I start talking about blacks not tipping or other things an in general it will fly because anyone who has been a server like me knows it is generally true.

Blacks collectively could shape up and all stereotypes would disappear in 1-2 decades.

Lewis Cuonty Idaho is on the top for SSI claimants;

Yeah right :1orglaugh

Lots of blacks move from Chicago to Iowa (At least Des Moines metro and up where I live).
Getting an EBT card here is as simple as making a phone call, seriously, that's it. I think the first 6 months or something they don't ask for anything, just take your word for it.

Half the homicides in Des Moines are caused by Chicago natives, words straight from a policemen patrolling downtown.

A guy that made my coffee was living with his sister, New Jersey native told me he was sick of her (she lives in Des Moines). 3 kids, no job, meth addict that watches TV all day, and she gets her rent and all her food paid for through public assistance.

Idaho is rural-ish and has 1.6 million people. Red Herring.

Cool so, under your logic, we can say redneck stereotypes are correct, and stereotypes of racists are correct :thumbsup

Are you saying the open whore stereotype is correct? :1orglaugh

I grew up in FL and I've seen what has happened to this state with Republican governor right after another. I've also traveled extensively though the south and then in other areas that aren't always Republican dominated.

When you do this, you start to see trends. I don't religiously bash Republican dindos for no reason. :winkwink:

By and far Republican lawmakers do not care about the average American, but somehow manage to convenience working class people to vote against their own good. Then again it's not really a secret, as to why they vote the way they do, they are trolled into voting against their own interests by making them believe they are better than the other guy..

Talk about sticking your foot in your mouth :2 cents::1orglaugh

Look at California on that map ... How come by your logic LA, San Fran and Oakland are not black or shaded grey.

I've seen your endurance in Paul Markham threads, I'm not going to fall into that trap.

My first post just showed a trend that looked suspiciously similar, so I posted it.

I laughed, you laughed. Time to move on.

edit: I won this argument btw. :)

Was that a .5% black population I saw?

How does this relate to States where people are on Disability?

Moving a person from unemployed to Disabled. Makes the Government look good. When the truth is very different.

Don't blame Trump voters or Trump. Blames this.

It's impossible to steal a man's income and still keep him following you.

Trump's biggest mistake was not addressing the Blacks and Latinos with who was fucking them. They voted for the wife of the biggest US Working Class job rapist of all time.

Whatever

Another GFY racist event

Controversial topic indeed ...
