Those poor assholes who work for VA. Some of them know it’s fucked AND they still somehow give a shit. Some of them don’t know it’s fucked AND they give a shit. Some of them walk around thinking they are making some sacrifice by working there and they don’t need the shit when all is said and done. Most of them there to make policy and they mostly fall into three different camps. I’ll leave that up to the readers imagination but I can tell you this, at least two of those camps you don’t want to fall up underneath. Good luck figuring out what camp they reside in before they fuck you. Big game to them. They live for the shit.
Everyone from the janitor upwards is allowed to make policy at VA, that’s one problem. Eventually you’re gonna find that you aren’t someone’s policy. Answer to that and wages being the same no matter how good the economy does is UBI. Then you can get insurance, send the political gladiators home, and really sit it out if companies won’t pay. All sorts of problems can be solved this way, and they will be solved naturally with this kind of bargain power. Right now, nobody who isn’t sitting in a government chair or on top of a mountain of everyone else’s money has any power whatsoever. Don’t shit yourself..
Some assholes will treat you like shit at VA and then dare you to kick the shit out of them so they can blame you for it all. That’s one tactic. Another is the good old “send you to this” “send you to that” phoney bullshit that’s nothing but appointments and nothing really being done about your condition. They’ve only got the funding and resources to put on a theater production until you’re suicidal or incapacitated from a condition. In the case of incapacitated, you’re still gonna need backup because someone is always in the mix ready to accuse you of bullshitting or condition not being serious enough. Most of this to avoid having to pay for surgery until you’re in critical condition. Just layer upon layer of resistance to care at many VA’s. Also guilt trips, character assassination, blaming shit on you, flaming hoops, wait times, no call back, busy signals, holds, “sign for medication” upon delivery of certain medications. Just endless bullshit and games when it’s mentally healthier to just get a doctor in the community and fill the fuckin prescription that very day. VA good for nothing. Buy ibuprofen at the grocery store. Waste of everyone’s time just to justify redistribution of wealth and pretend that the USA has a public sector aside from security or jailing as many people as possible. Just do UBI and close the place for the love of God and baby Jesus.
When I met with the VRNE counselor, she told me flat out. Disabled veterans do not make good entrepreneurs. So I discontinued the service, and she closed my file.
