Containment What will happen when Barb dies?

[YachieKicchou]

You have little faith in opportunistic slumlords that will bleed Chris dry of his tugboat?

They're not getting Chris's money, they're getting the governments. He'd have a rent of 300-400$, the rest the government pays for. But he can't have combined assets or money that totals to 2000$ assuming he's getting this on disability and he has to report all of his bank accounts and anywhere that stores wealth. If he's on disability he's actually not even allowed to be given food from other people without the government adjusting how much he gets.

The government isn't going to go out if it's way to help Chris. It's not like they've got someone keeping an eye out for him, waiting for his mother to croak so they can swoop in and save the day. If Chris doesn't actively pursue getting housing, putting in applications, filling out forms, etc. (or have someone doing it for him), then he won't be getting anything. And as others have said, the wait time can be years. There are thousands of people with developmental and mental issues like Chris living on the streets because their primary care giver (like a parent) passed away and they couldn't take care of themselves.

The government doesn't just not care, they make it hard to do. Just getting disability requires years of documentation and they'll fight you on whether or not you're disabled even if you come in missing two legs.

If Chris got a social worker to help with his living situation is it possible they may also be put in charge of his finances? Or is his tugboat untouchable?

This should have already happened. If he's on disability then they look at whether or not he needs a caretaker who handles his finances. You actually have to prove you can manage your money or else everything you get goes to your caretaker. To start managing your own funds you need to prove you're in the mental state and have the maturity to do it. In some states you absolutely have to have a financial manager. This doesn't change if you're an adult. My father still handles my SSI because that's how it was done by default. Some states just do it automatically.

I'm mentioning disability because it's how Chris could go on Section 8. They require a ton of documentation. A lot of homes that would take the disabled will actually go to your house and look at your living quarters and evaluate you. They'll look at your behaviors and dirtiness and such. Frankly, none of those houses are going to take him. He'd have to find the minority of landlords that'd take him and even then he has to look presentable and they might check his credit.

Edit: How the fuck is Chris getting more than me in disability? 1300? He's absurdly lucky to be getting SSDI. That really shouldn't have happened. He's actually getting way more than the vast majority of people on disability at a strange age. Incredible.

I just looked into this even more and it makes less sense. I actually get SSDI in the same way Chris does but that doesn't mean you get 1300$. It means they get the max that SSI would give you, so you're supposed to get a chunk of SSDI and then SSI carries the rest. This is completely ass-backwards. Chris is getting way more than he should be. I know disabled elderly people who get less than Chris does.

Chris isn't mentally incapable of doing what it would take to find a semi-normal housing arrangement. He's just so fucking lazy he won't until he's on the verge of or actually homeless. And even then he just has to post some reeeing squalling videos about being homeless and some dumb cunt will fucking swoop down and rescue him.

Chris might not technically be mentally incapable of doing it because of a mental disability, but that laziness of his coupled with his total lack of understanding of how the real world works is going to make for quite the hurdle for him to overcome. Chris has had all of his problems taken care of for him. He has never once been forced to solve his own problems. When the day comes for him to walk out the door of 14BC forever, I think his brain is going to lock up. He's not going to know what to do with himself or where to go. Unless someone comes along and does everything for him, things look bleak. On paper he could pull it off, but in practice I just don't see him being able to pull it off. Not alone.

And yeah, some dumbass might offer him a place to crash, but they'll eventually tell him to leave. No one is going to let Chris live in their home rent free, never helping with the chores or cooking, having his little spaz fits and outbursts all hours of the night, his hoard of kiddie toys consuming the house, and Chris never bathing or changing his nasty clothes. It might take a year, but eventually Chris will wear out his welcome.

He gets SSDI through Bob's work record. It's calculated based on how much a person made, and Bob had a well-paying career as an engineer.

Isn't it also calculated on their deaths as well. Like he got a boost after Bob died, and he'll get another one after Barb's death.

Yeah. Though I don't think he'll get a boost from Barb's death since his benefits are tied to Bob's record and not her's.

 

[Tikbalang]

IIRC, Null is going to give him necessities after Barb's death, probably a proper housing. And Chris ditched Null over enablers.

If it's true, Chris will be on his knees begging for a roof on his head (and ditch him again once he's comfortable)

 

[Barley]

Just wondering, has Chris said anything about her lately? I mean, she was... not very well when these begging videos happened time ago and I doubt she got any better since then, especially under Chris' care.

He told people to quit asking about her

 

[Barley]

For real though? Well, I guess that's one aspect of his life he doesn't share anymore, maybe he doesn't want people to be falsely concerned while she's not in her best health anymore. Obviously Barb is not a saint but it'd be disappointing if he was mistreating the old woman and doesn't want others to know like with his poor pets.

That would be based on his status as the disabled adult child of a Social Security recipient. The formulas are ridiculous and I don't know whether he'd qualify or how much he'd qualify for if anything. And it would also depend on him not being a complete moron and actually going down to the Social Security office to apply for it (you can't apply for survivor's benefits online).

Her corpse is being gnawed on by those vile semi-feral beagles.

 

[Glowie]

Ah pope Francis approach, canceling all public events after getting a undetermined illness.

Chris would probably leave Barb's corpse to rot and scam gubmint to get those gibs

Those videos are exaggerated for sympathy donations. She still has enough wits to do things like deal with the household finances and tard wrangle Chris.

He told people to stop asking about her on a livestream where wéens kept hassling him about her when he wanted to ramble about something else.

In true Chris fashion; concern about the health of his old ailing possibly dying mom? Pffft yeah right! There's pony animations to sperg about and make goofy faces at.

Null said fuck it when Chris refused to lift a finger. That ship has sailed, bro.

Yeah there’s a very strong chance that will happen, and no one will even know about it for months. Pretty fucking dark. I sometimes wonder about the extent of Chris’ ability to introspect — does he ever ask himself how it came to this?

No, man, it clearly is the fault of th0sE FuCk1nG tr0lLs! No more explanation or thought is needed! I mean he says this regularly.

 

[Spawn]

I really think at some point sooner than later this will all come to a head his realization of his dreams never coming true. No sweetheart no kids no future. When barb dies it'll be a catalyst for all of it and we will see him slip further into denial and his fantasy land (I.E barb just merged shes with me now I see her) or he will have a psychological break of epic magnitude and no amount of drugs or psychotherapy will put Humpty Dumpty together again (edit) which one would you prefer?

 

[Syaoran Li]

Chris will likely end up getting arrested again after Barb dies and he won't have her helping him with lawyers. Eventually his tard card is going to run out and he will end up spending time in jail. Once that happens he will no longer have a tugboat.

Like @AnOminous already said, that only happens if you commit a felony.

Chris is not the kind of guy who'd get a felony conviction.

Even if his tard card ran out, he'd probably get a higher-class misdemeanor and just do a few months in the county lockup or some softball minimum security jail at the absolute most. And it's not just because Chris has autism and is clearly mentally and intellectually unwell, but rather because he's just not the kind of person who would go out and actually commit a proper felony in most circumstances.

The Snyder incident in 2011 and the Blarms incident in 2014 were noteworthy because they were the major exceptions to the rule, and both those got plead down to a misdemeanor and a slap on the wrist.

The Snyder incident in particular probably wouldn't have happened if Barb wasn't there to make everything worse, and even if Snyder hadn't pushed for leniency, I doubt Chris would've landed a felony conviction or done any serious long-term jail time.

Also, Chris is more deluded than ever before, but the delusion is the kind that works in favor of him not getting anything more severe than a trespassing charge or disturbing the peace. He's also essentially chemically castrated thanks to the troon hormones and obesity, so he's not even going to try and rape anyone either.

The time for Chris to commit a felony of his own volition would've been in his early to mid 20's when he was a horny teenager trapped in a twenty-something's body and could've actually tried to start a fight with someone or maybe been foolhardy enough to grope someone who'd scream and call the cops on him. And neither ever really happened.

Chris has always been all bark and no bite. He may have talked a lot of shit back in the day, but he was also a total pansy back then and he's even more of a pansy nowadays.

Honestly, I don't see Chris getting put in a group home at all.

Most likely, he'll try and ditch 14 Branchland as soon as Barb's funeral is over and he gets the new tugboat check for that month.

He'll probably be homeless for a while, but I wouldn't be surprised if The Captain or some other orbiter or white knight helped him at least get the paperwork for Section 8 or find him some cheapo trailer in Greene County or low-end apartment in the Charlottesville area.

Null has washed his hands of Chris completely, so he's not going to do anything when Barb dies except probably close the subforum and send it to Spergatory.

At the absolute most, I could see Null helping out with a second care package if enough of the staff supported the idea. Even that is extremely unlikely and highly optimistic at best.


The only way Chris gets put in a group home or assisted living facility is if he freaks out loudly enough while being arrested on some petty trespassing charge and the psychologist at the local jail recommends an involuntary psych evaluation.

Even in that unlikely scenario, he'd have to agree to sign off on that sort of thing while he's holed up in whatever care facility he's staying at during that temporary hold.

Unless the Idea Guys or some other wien tricked Chris into giving them his power of attorney so they could make that decision for him, I doubt that would happen.

 

[AnOminous]

Chris is not the kind of guy who'd get a felony conviction.

Not even then. It's only if you're actually incarcerated for a year or longer. It's not a punishment for committing a crime. It's just the recognition that you're already getting your living expenses covered while in prison. You have to reapply on release.
