I am thinking part of Lucas saying he wants to work is that he is now basically literally broke from Mallon place taking almost all of his tugboat. But is this really enough motivation for Lucas to actually try to find a job?
I read the rules about working while on a tugboat and they surprised me. I had thought people on SSI could work part time and earn at least a few hundred dollars a month without effecting their monthly check. But apparently that is not the case. Apparently they deduct money from the tugboat based on how much you make. I disagree with that rule and honestly see value in letting people with disabilities try to get in a better place with part time employment and not have their benefits reduced.
Lucas would not like having his tugboat reduced and it almost would not be worth it. But I really just do not see him wanting to work. I still think this is all just talk and no follow through. But we will find out.
