Here's one that is a dilemma. What about my neighbor. She was always a big girl but got bigger, and bigger and bigger. She ran other people's salons for years. Probably made $50K a year. So she was independent. Lived on her own. Eventually started her own salon. One day she collapses. 5 foot 2 maybe 300 plus pounds. She goes to the doctor and the doctor says, "you can't work. Not in your condition. You're gonna die" So she applies for and gets on medicaid and disability. A plethora of problems but they all stem from her being a fat fuck.
I say they should send her to a fat farm and she gets on a diet, a nutritionist, and she is forced to lose the weight. If she's going to be on our dime, then we own her. And she needs to lose weight.
So she gets a gym membership for free too. One day she says she's starting to lose too much weight and doesn't want to lose her disability, because "honey, I'm done working".
Now I get it. She's in her 50's and doesn't want to go back to work. But she could. Especially today with so many people working from home.
But she has to lose weight first.
Anyways, it sickens me how many Americans like this are on disability. Almost all of them did it to themselves.
The ones who got in horrible accidents and can't work anymore, I get.
Oh, I have another friend. She got in a horrible accident. I honestly think she was faking it. She seems fine to me. But she apparently got really bad head trauma so she's on disability. Is she faking it? Maybe she wasn't at first but I bet now she could go back to work but if they ask her she will say NO I CAN'T.
So many fucking losers have checked out early. You don't think I want to cash out and stop working? I'm in my mid 50's too. And I see more successful people my age retiring. It sucks having to work till you are 62 or 65.
The funny thing is, they get so very little. My neighbor, the fat one, complains all the time about how she has no money. Her car had a problem and she didn't have a warranty. The transmission was going to cost her $3000. She got the arab at the shop to sell her a warranty. And she had to wait 3 months to make the claim.
