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”
