Walking is Good for you by Jancee Dun

​As you all know, I am disabled and have never walked in my life. I am a news enthusiast and have subscribed to the New York Times Magazine. Today, I checked my email and first read about the health benefits of walking, its enjoyment, and its role in easing melancholy and sadness. This ranks among the most ableist articles I have encountered recently.  


Why does no one in the New York Times write about the challenges faced by disabled people who cannot walk, secure employment, or earn income while losing nearly half our earnings to SSI? We wait decades for housing assistance programs. The issue is that no one addresses our problems. Rather than focusing on how able bodies walk, it might be better to consider what happens if they become disabled in a wheelchair.  


The problem is that disabled people are overlooked because we live in a materialistic society driven by a materialistic economy. America currently operates within a materialistic economy, meaning people prioritize survival over concern for others.

In the United States, the disability cap refers to limits placed on the amount of income and assets a person with disabilities can possess while still qualifying for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI). The cap also often extends to limits on the benefits themselves, restricting the total assistance one can receive.      For instance, SSI recipients must have limited income and assets—typically not exceeding $2,000 for individuals and...

   I n this post, I will explain the ten most used phrasal verbs in the United States. A phrasal verb is a collection of words that work together as a verb ( A verb means an action). to make a phrasal verb, what you do is you use a verb such as "come" plus a preposition such as "out". Come out for example means to come out of a room for example. Sometimes adverbs are used too to make a phrasal verb. The first phrasal verb that we have is Slow down . Slow down means go slower.
