If they had to get 2 salaries they simply wouldn't get hired.

Aka, the fuck people with disability method of thinking.

1 persons worth of work

But they're not. They're 2 people. Who are... Conjoined. That's what it means.

It sucks but thats the way it goes.

... That's just how you think about it.

You're also just discovering the hardship people with disability face and how often they accept unfair conditions because of the lack of opportunity they face, the same happens for many vulnerable people. Have you ever wondered why illegal Mexicans do insanely hard labour for unfair pay?

Because they have no other choice in an exploitative system.

You're so close to experience an emancipation moment. I think that is fascinating.

Yeah, no shit, they're 2 people, but they're teachers in the US

If they had to be paid 2 salaries, no district in the country would hire them. They can only teach 1 class. With all the will and accommodations in the world, they could only teach 1 class still.

They can still only really do 1 persons worth of work. They jointly control 1 body. Even if they did an office job, they could still only write 1 report at a time. Im sure there are some jobs that they could do 2 peoples.

I will never be able to work some jobs because I'm disabled, sad to say, but it's true. It would nice if they did get 2 salaries but in reality its unlikely unless they find a job that could do it.

But that's wrong. They're doing two people's work. They're both working.

That's two people. Two jobs. Two pays.

Unless one is having a nap during work hours. Or playing gameboy.

Does the other person, have free time? No.

They're both working.

I will never be able to work some jobs because I'm disabled

And that goes for them, however,

If you're suggesting, that due to your ableness, you should be allowed to be paid half as much as someone else.

I don't agree. That's exploitative.

What you're arguing for, that if someone who is disabled is only half as capable, they should only get half the pay, is horrifying in any reasonable society.

FFS you're on here attacking people like they're the school superintendent who wrote those girls' employment contract. They're pointing out the reality of government bureaucracy, not cheerleading for disabled folk to get the shaft.

not cheerleading for disabled folk to get the shaft.

People are specifically explaining why they SHOULD only get one pay.

FFS you're on here attacking people

I'm not, I just don't agree with what people are saying.
