Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

I swear to god this is true and not some dark irony-poisoned satire...
...they're proudly promoting this with the hashtag #DyingToWork
The world is creeping closer and closer to actual slavery for the masses. I remember a while ago they invented robots that could be controlled with your eyes or mind, and paralysed people in hospital beds were to operate them so they could continue to work. Everyone was like "Oh how lovely, paralysed people still get to work!" I was thinking how evil and dystopian, you can't even be paralysed in a hospital bed without having to work. Of course people used the same excuses then that someone in this thread is using now "It's to benefit the disabled person, they want to work, etc." Well what happens when all this becomes normalised - there will be no more choice. You can be dying or paralysed and people will say "That's no excuse - other dying and paralysed people manage to keep working, so get back to work!"
