Something related that I finally put into words last night was: Why should someone need to prove they deserve to exist at all?
Every UBI test has been not only massively successful in improving people's lives, but also outright costs less than the current methods of dealing with the homeless.

Look, I just don't give a fuck. I'd rather support people who want to game the system than risk harming those who are vulnerable. I just don't care. The wealthy can afford to pay taxes to pay for it. The math works out. We can support everyone. It's just the will to do it.
Balancing "no person with a disability should be denied accommodations" with "it's important to discourage non-disabled people from pretending to be disabled to take advantage of these accommodations" is really difficult and I don't have a great answer for what anyone should do about it.

you should believe people when they tell you they're disabled. that's pretty much the long and short of it

it's not important. that's the answer. it is very very very rarely true, but it's not important.

How about we worry less, as a society, about whether individuals might be cheating to get a disability accommodation or some help buying food, and more about whether extremely wealthy people and corporations are paying their fair share of taxes?

Northern Shovelers have arrived in Central Park. Their huge spoon-shaped bill always makes me laugh--but it's very effective for filtering tiny crustaceans out of the water. Just look at the size of that thing! 😍😍😍 #Shoveler #CentralPark #birding

I know far more people who are unable to get even basic accommodations for their diagnosed disabilities than I know people cheating an imaginary system that's giving away support and services. In fact, I'd go so far as to say most disabled people are grossly underserved by our current system.
