      Interesting, in 1939 they expanded the program from sterilization and killing children under 3 to

      “Adults with disabilities, chronic illnesses, mental health problems and criminals who were not of German origin were included in the programme.”

      Based on the idea that these people were a “burden” on German society. While I don’t doubt a similar program will show up under Trump, to me it would extend to “economic burden”. This would say to me someone paralyzed waist down but that can still work on an electronics line would be fine, but if you get in a workplace accident that permanently requires you to receive personal or financial assistance to live, you ain’t fine. And a lot of that would likely be up to the discretion of the employer, which is a harrowing thought.

      I don’t like the way this looks. I’ve got friends and family affected by this, and I can’t just say “GTFO” as a refugee, because that ain’t easy either.
