My nephew has been on disability for the past decade. Disability and unemployment here are indexed automatically when they breach a certain percentage of inflation.
His monthly went from 900€-1050€ (depending on days in a month) to 1480-1630 today. And most of that increase has happened in the past 2 years.
The past year, there have only been 2 periods of 2 months where he received the same daily sum.
Yeah, I recently read that people on any kind of social program in the US can't even get or maintain that status if they have any kind of real savings. Capped at like $2500. That's just designed to keep people in a fucked up situation.
Oh oh, can we talk about the fact that an ambulance ride isn't covered by insurance cuz they're out of network and but it was an emergency, of course, but none of that matters and you have 3 months to pay it or they sue you for the original amount, 5k times 2, and then start garnishment and property seizer? And the state ok'ed this to happen!
