For the 10000th time, move yourself, that’s fine.I think it's an insane take to think just because someone is healthy going to the gym consistently that they should be less likely to have a disability.
One of the most jacked guys I've ever met has 80%, most of it being from a hernia mesh implant. It's also very possible to have some sort of mental disability. I know it's a taboo word but there are controllers with VA disability for depression and cleared to work.
My take on all this shit, dity move and all. I personally am not going to load cinder blocks in my moving truck or claim PTSD because that one trainer made me carry around a brick. If it's not directly affecting you, why do you care what other people are doing with their DITY move/disability?
But when people pull the moving schemes like loading down their truck or driving out of the way for mileage, just because you don’t THINK it directly affects you, it actually does.
The DoD had some billion something dollars unaccounted for at the last audit. I don’t know about you guys, but when I was in the Navy, if our supply PO managed the cash well, we had a small surplus at the end of the year that we spent on a new TV for the break room, better chairs, just small quality of life shit that made us happy.
Everyone did what they were supposed to do, and as a result our lives got better. Not saying it kept people from being depressed, but it helped.
Now imagine if said supply PO didn’t care and we didn’t have that surplus. Small things do in fact contribute to depression, and, hypothetically said Sailor has a terrible life and now is just one thing closer to depression.
Sailor gets depressed, gets out, and now the VA feels the need to pay them $3000 for the rest of their life. EVEN MORE strain on the budget.
So just because you don’t think little scams affect you directly, they actually affect all of us in a major way indirectly. More strain on a shitty budget for a country in debt, and more money unaccounted for in the system.
