Yes I realize that the Pizza hut is closed at 6 am, but for crying out loud they are going to the GYM to WORK OUT!
Has nobody caught the real point of the article that there is a lot of disability (not just handicapped parking permit) FRAUD going on today?
How, miraculously, because people can’t find jobs they decide they can’t work at all? How they go straight from unemployment to disability? How they prefer a government check to work because it’s easier and often more lucrative?
People work with back pain, depression, cancer, diabetes, high blood pressure, blind, deaf, etc...etc....etc... ALL THE TIME! If they have the character to do so.
Disability has it’s place but it’s generally become a huge scam and racket. And this article doesn’t even mention SSI payments to “disabled” children of around $700/month for maladies such as ADHD. Parents with multiple “disabled” children live off the kids’ cash. Add food stamps, Section 8, Medicaid, Obama Fones, etc... it’s much preferable to flipping burgers or cleaning toilets. Which is why we have to get illegals to “do the jobs American’s won’t do”
A study once showed most cities have more handicapped parking than handicapped stickers issues.
Typical beauracracy at work.
It’s also laziness and the idea of entitlement. The same goes for fire lanes; people park in them to run in and get a pizza or pick up dry cleaning.
I always call the police and fire marshal on them and give thier license plate numbers.
Once I saw an idiot park in a fire lane and an actual fire broke out and the fire truck guys just rammed his car and cops arrested him! I was laughing so hard.
