The accident was 17 years ago. She is 40. She has NEVER had a job.
Very poor attempt at propaganda NPR!
Good points. If this is the best NPR can do, one wonders.
So many people never are accountable for their actions. I have a dear friend that, sadly, is morbidly obese and underwent gastric bypass several years ago to save her life. She lost 100 lbs. but is still about 150 lbs. overweight.
Several years ago, we went to dinner at a nice Italian place and she got a huge plate of pasta. After she ate 3/4 of the plate (which could have fed 3 people), she exclaimed, “oh I am full” and I said, “Okay, then just quit eating.” She looked at me with this mean expression and started shoveling it in and finished it off. It gave me such insight into her problem. I still don’t know why she would sabotage herself like that.
