    What! Can’t leave the bed! How will your employer survive if you don’t return to the office 1.5hrs away and collaborate 5 days a week?

        I can’t work.

        And you (and everyone else) shouldn’t HAVE to. There’s enough automation and technology to make it so that nearly all of society’s needs could be met with a handful of hours of work from people who are able and driven to do so.

        I hope you are able to engage in creative or other activities that bring you joy and fulfillment, despite your limitations. If you are not, due to lack of assistive device or other means, please communicate it. There are communities here and a lot of users like myself that would be happy to try to help.

          Agreed but that’s beside the point. I’m able to spend maybe 15-30 minutes a day on my phone. And apart from that I spend the rest of the day tubefed and unable to open my eyes.

          If I “HAD” to work, I wouldn’t “force myself” because I cannot, I would die of starvation or whatever comes first when I run out of money.

            You could always become a prostitute, for a lot of people you just have to lay there anyway, and you get laid all the time
