Pro tip: if you're working class and about to talk about how disabled people are privileged, consider shutting the fuck up!
(Feel free to point out class privilege in the cases of disabled people who have enough money/resources that it doesn't affect their ability to survive--but remember, their privilege is in class only, it has nothing to do with their disability and they would be much more privileged without it)
The fact that someone doesn't work, or doesn't work much, doesn't mean they don't need to. Often it means they literally have no option to work, or that they choose eating less etc over working more because that's somehow the better option. Don't assume a disabled person simply has enough money that they don't need to work--the vast majority of the time that is not the case.
