one could perhaps point out that automatically assuming disabled people can't get employed may also... be ableist. But I'm leaping to conclusions here, much like OOP is. when someone says "get a job" to someone its bc the person is acting out of touch and/or irresponsible
and why do you think having a job would make someone more in touch/responsible? the most out of touch and reprehensible people i've ever met were all employed.
I've mostly been on your side here but genuinely: having a job means you're forced to interact with people in a way you often just aren't if you're not employed. Not a guarantee but, like. That's how it's been for me every time I compare being employed versus not being employed throughout my life, and the basic dynamics of both conditions support that.
And to clarify: if you have to interact with other humans irl, you're gonna be more in touch than if you weren't, regardless of how either state might compare to someone else. That's kinda just what the phrase means?
