In addition to this way too many people I know are receiving SSI disability checks on top of that. 😅 I got folks on oxygen and walkers that get less SSI then a bunch of 20 year olds I know.

I find this hard to believe. I'd be curious to hear roughly how many people you know that are on disability.

For those unaware, social security is extremely strict with earned income affecting benefits. It's also incredibly difficult to start getting disability benefits, even with mountains of documentation and medical records. It's quite common to have to appeal a case multiple times, and it often takes years for people to be approved.
