This really sucks for many disabled people who rely on 'low skill, repetitive' jobs to survive. I hope Mercedes addresses this (I doubt, given how capitalists hate disabled people).

I think disabled people should get money from the state, they've already been delt a bad hand in life, they shouldn't have to do repetitive tasks for survival. I don't know how it is in Germany but where I live disabled people get benefits so they don't have to work to survive.
