Hi everyone.  About that angry emoji… are you mad at the message, or mad because you agree with it? Either way, welcome to the Empathy Economy, where “care” is just a sales pitch.

Let’s stop pretending. The disability and aged care sectors have become a goldmine for polished parasites, support services and providers who’ve perfected the art of looking compassionate while quietly bleeding dry the very people they claim to help. Vulnerability isn’t a challenge to solve; it’s a business model. And choice? That’s reserved for those who can afford it.

At AbilityClassifieds.com.au, we’re not here to stroke egos or protect margins. We built our blog to expose the rot: real stories, raw truths, and the kind of uncomfortable honesty that makes the profiteers squirm. If it ruffles feathers, good. That’s the point.

Remember when importing factory-built wheelchair-accessible Toyotas and Nissans for around $20,000 to $45,000 was a thing? Now it’s Frankenstein conversions at $130,000 with an 18 month wait.

Any products that are Disability or Elderly related should cost a fraction, are marked up like luxury goods, all because “you have no choice.” And the NDIS? A playground for those who know how to self-serve and manipulate the system.

This isn’t just a rant. It’s a call to action. If you’ve been gouged, ghosted, or gaslit by the “care” industry, send your story to us so we can post your story on the Blog at   Ability Classifieds. We’ll edit names, not truth. Because exposing this behaviour isn’t just in your interest, it’s your duty. Let’s drag it into the daylight and make it impossible to ignore.
