    This seems like a place to note that the maximum Social Security payment for a person on disability (SSI) is $10,970.44 a year. Your benefits are reduced if you get a discount on rent or if someone helps you buy food.

        To paraphrase Anthony Bourdain on Henry Kissinger, once you've been on SSI you'll never stop wanting to beat every capitalist to death with your bare hands.

          SSI played a huge part in pushing me towards communism. I worked in a social services role and saw how godawful it was for the people I worked with. It's so damn dehumanizing.
