Leading DEI with intentionality, knowing that at Mars, DiversAbility is a part of who we, what we do, and why this work is important for all, inclusively. This day celebrates the unique abilities and achievements of individuals with DiversAbilities emphasizing their contributions to various fields like arts, sports, technology & advocacy. ADA prohibits discrimination against individuals with disabilities in areas such as employment, public services, transportation, telecommunications, and fostering a more inclusive society. #proudlymars #dei #inclusionanddiversity #CelebrateADA

We will delve into the essential aspects of special needs trusts, their benefits, and the considerations involved in setting up and managing them.

CRYPTOCURRENCY & REYGITONIUM-G TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: I ABSOLUTELY SEE NOTHING WRONG WITH CRYPTOCURRENCY: REYGITONIUM-G I CAN UNDERSTAND WHY THE INFANT DEMOCRATIC-CAPITALISTIC MINDS OF TODAY BLAME USA GOVERNMENT. THEN IS ANY GOVERNMENT TO BE BLAMED FOR HOMELESS PROBLEMS PLAGUING THE WORLD.? NO. GOD KNOWS HEADACHES USA GOVERNMENT HAVE WITH THE FOREIGN AFFAIRS. THE NEW WORLD PRACTICALLY SHOCK TO WITNESS. PEOPLE ONLY WORKING TOGETHER FOR A COMMON GOAL. "IN THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS." DOESN'T THAT ALSO INCLUDE THE HOMELESS. THE HOMELESS ARE OUT THERE. ARE YOU.? HOMELESS.. OPPORTUNITY MISUNDERSTOOD. The modern economic system is a market economy, which is a capitalist economy where people, not the government--NOT THE GOVERNMENT--own most businesses. In a capitalist economy, prices allocate capital and labor between competing uses, and capital assets can be privately owned and controlled. https://lnkd.in/eB98Jnv9 EXAMPLE, IF YOU NEED TO RAISE MONEY FOR ANY REASON OR MORE SO LETS SAY THE "HOMELESS" PROBLEM WHICH IS BELIEVED TO BE TIME & MONEY CONSUMING BUT IN ONE DIRECTION TOWARD THE HOMELESS. HOWEVER CRYPTOCURRENCY CAN POSSIBLE ALLOWS AN EXPENDITURE OF CURRENCY TO BENEFIT ALL WHO USES THE CRYPTO & REGARDLESS OF HOW IT'S CONSUMED. THEREFORE IF A CRYPTO HOMELESS CURRENCY REYGITONIUM-G EXISTED IT'S MORE HIGHLY LIKELY THAT THE HOMELESS PROBLEM CAN BE VANQUISHED BECAUSE CURRENCY-FINANCES IT'S ALWAYS AVAILABLE TO BE TAPPED INTO FOR HOMELESS RESOLUTIONS. REYGITONIUM-G: EACH COUNTRY GOVERNMENT INITIAL $1-DOLLAR INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO OF 8-BILLION EARTH CITIZENS. THEREAFTER GLOBALLY ANYBODY CAN INVEST IN THE CRYPTOCURRENCY REYGITONIUM-G.

Wish we had leadership like #NYCMayor ERIC ADAMS in California. Gov. Gavin Newsom is not a champion of the disability community. He vetos bills that would protect disability rights including coverage for the most critically medically fragile children in California. He vetoed SB247 in 2021, which would have provided for California's sickest and most in need medically complex children. He has done nothing to update the California Childrens' Services #CCS program and has done everything in his power to work towards defunding programs for the sickest kids in the state. He refuses to adequately fund existing entitlement health programs and Adult Day health as well as the Home and Community Based Alternatives program. As a result, there will be fewer hospital beds for communicable disease treatment and emergency services because all the kids who could be cared for at home will be taking those beds, including my daughter! #disabilitypridemonth  #disabilityinclusion #equityandinclusion  #wheelchairlife  #wheelchair  #advocacy  #advocacymatters  #disabilitylife  #disabilityawareness  #economics  #economicdevelopment  #economy  #sustainability  #adultdaycare  #adultcare  #healthcareinnovation  #healthawareness  #healthcare  #iloveadhc #caregiversupport  #medicaid  #medicaidplanning  #savemedicaid #health

We believe the government’s newly published Disability Action Plan has missed the opportunity to tackle the major issues facing young people with disabilities and their families. While we welcome the government’s commitment to consult with people with disabilities about the policies that impact their lives, it is disappointing that there are not more actions that will address the fundamental issues of support, inclusion and valuing people with disabilities across society.
