This came on an email thread/ no author mentioned. It IS a joke, although it's easy to think it is not.

I guess most of the people in congress would fall in this category.

As they say all good satire is based on truth.

If true, it would be just a new tax boondoggle for crony capitalists. Most big companies already “promote a significant number of Persons of Inability (POI) into middle-management positions”.

Yes, especially since a prime benefactor of the ANAA is Joe Biden, who somehow became Vice President. It may be a joke, but because of the above, it seems real.

Definitely sounds like this is pretty much in place.

Other day when I saw something inre ‘forgiving student loans’ I figured if that is a ‘good’ thing, why should I (and others in my category) be forced to pay my loans on my GI BILL purchased house?

Basically the same difference, the ‘SL’ was (supposedly) granted to allow those an opportunity to go to college who may otherwise not be able to afford it.

I purchased my house with a VA/Govt backed loan that was ‘secured’ by the Govt....I didn’t realize that if I chose not to - for no apparent reason other than I didn’t want to OR think I shouldn’t - I was a ‘dummy’ paying on that house all those years.

ANAA is good..but my favorite group is RXLNO which stands for “People Who Don’t Understand Initialisms”

What about the POS’s? People of So-so-ability? I think we all have Some ability, it’s just not enough to matter. If you know of a POS (Person Of So-so-ability), alert them to this legislation so they too can benefit. Really “People of No Ability” is insulting so we should all call them the POS’s they really are. Nobody should get upset over being called a POS, if that’s what they are.

FR frowns upon postings like this they believe that we are not smart enough to understand satire when we see it.

Americans With No Abilities Act (ANAA)

Should be changed to: Americans With No Abilities Legislation - ANAL

What is frightening is how many people didn't immediately get that this article is sarcasm.

makes as much sense as Puerto Ricans being “disabled” and getting benefits for not speaking English

Well, I thought it was hysterically funny, because of course it IS true. SATIRE ALERT.

Are you sure it’s not the Affordable Non-Ability Act?
