People talk about the election of 2026 as a chance to recover. IF there is an election it will be a Putin, Orban, or Iranian style. Either fixed with stuffed ballot boxes, millions struck off the votors list, or only select people allowed to run. Or a combination of all three.

The public has no idea of how many disabled, all causes, there are in our society,they are hidden in homes,institutions, but exist in the rolls of social security, the VA and insurance company records.,and when we encounter them living in cardboard boxes and tents under freeway overpasses and bridges, we don't see them. The sight makes us uncomfortable,for there but for the grace of the fates, so goes I.
