I made the right decision on 14 August 2024.
Hell, yes.
I occasionally can’t help but wonder if some people here still think I’m hearing voices and talking to the voices when I record videos. Who knows what they were told about me.
The crazy witch hunt that was launched against me out of the blue here, a little under a year ago, initially was baffling, but I’ve come to conclude that it’s basically sheer malice. On 14 August, I got told that a negative Google review may have had a lot to do with this.
When my benefits already got shut down without notification in only the second month (September 2024), explained retroactively by needing to have next month’s income data too, in addition to the data that I had already supplied, in duplicate, that became crystal-clear. This sort of nonsense – including civic offices staff climbing onto my balcony – would have gotten much worse, not better, if I had agreed to things on 14 August – some of which they they point-blank refused to put on paper and those were important promises.
(This too is a bit like Portsmouth, yes, I suppose. There too, real estate owners’ wishes could get people’s benefits shut down, apparently. It’s called politics.)
