I’d like you to verify what you consider evidence. Since this has seemed to be something you’ve struggled with.
That's because a bunch of people think change is a good thing, without ever looking at evidence to the contrary.
They know this isn't what a majority of Americans actually want. Why else would Trump send out an obviously prepared statement claiming he doesn't know anyone involved, despite working with them for years?I think there is a growing case that the answer to every question that Democrats are asked for the next four months should be about Project 2025. I think it hits a sweet spot in that it's real and just fringy enough that it triggers people's curiosity who then look into it a bit and become basically horrified.

Do you blame your job for it? You don't get it. Most veterans don't have any significant injury event they can point to, and it doesn't matter if they're some tech admin with a cush job. They can claim sleep apnea, GERD, migraines, depression, anxiety, diabetes, asthma, flat feet, dry eyes, etc. as service connected while no one else can do this with their jobs which can easily be a worse workplace environment.As a lifelong migraine sufferer, I assure you this is not a “dumb thing”
If your argument is that we don’t do enough for non veterans, I agree
You can't. To give the same benefit to everyone else would cost trillions annually. It's pathetic that you guys can't even admit military disability is broken and stupid.If the military gives a better deal for PTSD than the private sector, the solution isn't to make the military package equally shitty, the solution is to make the private sector package better. This is basic humanitarian stuff you piece of shit.
And surprise: Who is the defender of veterans and the military now? Democrats.
To get 100% for PTSD requires multiple diagnoses from multiple VA doctors. It drags on for fucking years. So much so that many end in suicide before they're actually helped.
BTW, as a retired veteran, allow me to inform you that you have no fucking clue how difficult it is to get disability claims through much less ANYTHING with the VA. They've FINALLY just started getting better and now MAGA wants to fucking undo all of that.
Not to mention every couple of years you're reevaluated by THEIR doctors and have to go through the whole fucking process again if denied or downgraded.
Seriously. Just fuck off.
Trillions annually? Show your work....

Yes, you are a piece of shit.Yeah, I'm the piece of shit for highlighting obvious privilege and not the Democrat politicians that will constantly claim we're not doing enough for veterans while they completely ignore how shitty worker's comp is.

Yes, you are a piece of shit.
Half? 30% of veterans are on disability currently.Half of the population being "disabled" and getting around ~70% combined rating is obviously higher than Yang's UBI that was only 1200 per mo and rolled into retirement years. Military disability continues until death and anyone at 50% and above gets no cost health care and some other perks e.g. depending on the state and rating, no property taxes.
Hey, what's white privilege?
Thank you for showing you have no idea what you are talking about.Half of the population being "disabled" and getting around ~70% combined rating is obviously higher than Yang's UBI that was only 1200 per mo and rolled into retirement years.

It's like how your mother kept you instead of throwing you in the trash where you belong.Hey, what's white privilege?

Because they're corrupt and pretend to care about equality/equity.
Suicide rate isn't related to service. That has to do with the demographics. It's just cynical politicians lying.
The process is vastly better than worker's comp and it goes even faster for those that already know about it before TAP and did all their appointments for their silly claims.
How can you say that when around half of recent veterans 2000-24 are getting disability, and the most common combined ratings for more recent veterans are 70-100%?
It's obvious lax when veterans have 100% mental health rating and then want to be cops and pilots never mind all the nurses, EMT, paramedics, etc. that would be able to claim PTSD with the military's ridiculously low standard for it.
They rarely downgrade (read: It's an escalator) and individual claims have approval rates around 60-70%, so almost everyone gets something on first try and that's considering that many people hardly are doing this optimally. I'll post this again,
The average woman Veteran who receives disability compensation benefits from VA has a 68% combined disability rating, and they receive an average of $26,809 in earned disability compensation benefits per year from VA. The average grant rate for women Veterans is 89.2%, meaning that 89% of women Veterans who have applied for disability benefits with VA have received benefits for at least one condition.
Why is this such a sore spot? You never said your combined rating, and I believe you said something about PTSD in the past, but you likely already got a lot more in disability benefits than other people.
Jon Stewart is nowhere to be found and this guy just gets 1/3 of his regular pay for being out of work for a year and then fired. I know many veterans who get 100% mental health claims or lesser but combined with other ratings for 100% that never had anytime out of their job besides the scheming appointments before their enlistment is up yet they get 5 million plus in lifetime benefits. Make it make sense.

Fuck veterans am I right???Half of the population being "disabled" and getting around ~70% combined rating is obviously higher than Yang's UBI that was only 1200 per mo and rolled into retirement years.

Hey, what's white privilege?
Half? 30% of veterans are on disability currently.
43% of post 9/11 veterans are on disability. This makes sense after 30 years of non-stop combat and highly improved medicine that means more wounded survive, environmental cancers have been discovered and proved and PTSD is better understood.
Stop pulling shit out of your ass.
And the VA has vigorously prosecuted fraud.
Gotta love it. Veterans are the new welfare queens to MAGA.
Just sick.
Yes, I absolutely place some blame on work related stress, as that's a big trigger for me. If it wasn't for the miracle of modern medicine (Triptans), it's unlikely I could stay employed by anyone but myself.
If your arguing that private citizens should enjoy a similar scenario, then I'm going to agree.
Fuck veterans am I right???
They are just suckers and losers
But since you are a piece of shit that has no clue about anything….
The VA budget for 2025 is 235 billion
If only we allowed workers to band together into groups so they could collectively work towards improving their working situation, benefits, etc. And shame on Democrats for fighting tooth and nail to keep workers from this type of collective bargaining.
Oh wait, the answer to your complaint is unions. And, woah, its Republicans who regularly try to prevent us from bargaining for better working conditions, supplemented healthcare healthcare, etc. from our employees. For added insight, think of people passing laws to help veterans as a union helping vets get benefits form their employer (the government).
Took them long enoughNYT editorial board sez the tangerine terrorist is unfit for office:
New York Times editorial board declares Trump ‘unfit to lead’ | Donald Trump | The Guardian
Noting that the former president and convicted felon has now become the Republican nominee three times in eight years, the board said: “A once great political party now serves the interests of one man, a man as demonstrably unsuited for the office of president as any to run in the long history of the republic, a man whose values, temperament, ideas and language are directly opposed to so much of what has made this country great.”
100%I think there is a growing case that the answer to every question that Democrats are asked for the next four months should be about Project 2025. I think it hits a sweet spot in that it's real and just fringy enough that it triggers people's curiosity who then look into it a bit and become basically horrified.

Dems just need to keep their eyes on the ball and hound on the horrible Rep proposals.It's made a crack and Indies hate it when they find out about it. Keep pounding away.

They don’t claim to support personal freedoms at this point. Should be common knowledge by now that republicans are the anti-personal choice party. They’re perfectly happy to use the force of government to make decisions for people.Imagine claiming to support personal freedoms but want to outlaw porn.
