it started as just calum's story, then grew to a dozen more stories, then grew to 60, before they had to stop.
it kept happening to more and more people as the decade progressed.
Abused by the assessment process, cut off like an injust witch hunt, that if you lived, you didn't need the support they cut off, and if you died, you needed the support, but don't any more, and so it's win-win to them in their totalitarian lust to meet quotas of culling the hated. Denied access to necessities to survive, cut off by those with a duty of care for you, intentionally. No money for heating, for food, for medicines & therapies, for anything. Perishing by starving, freezing, succumbing to ailments. Or even just from the PTSD & CPTSD & stress brought on from the mistreatment from the system there to provide for your welfare.
Read those 60 stories. Scale that up to >130,000, and see that >130,000's not just a number.
Even to read just one... To get some idea what's been happening.
