New Rules Would Label Millions of American Workers as Disabled

Hmmm... more government interference in the workplace and in the economy.  A chief accommodation by employers IS A JOB!  Be sure to disclose your “disability” when you apply for the job.  I am sure this will improve the unemployment rate in this country.  Think of how many new government employees will be required to enforce this travesty.

Let us engage in a little logic:  Obese people have a physical disability (Puh-leez! Let someone ask me for proof of THAT).  Therefore, an employer could be required to accommodate obesity.  But, obesity is an elected disability.  Therefore, the employer is required to accommodate a lifestyle decision by the employee.  (Oops… there’s that “lifestyle” barb again.)  Aside for having to pay higher employer share of medical costs for the various diseases and maladies exacerbated by obesity, the employer has to prove that the obese employee is disabled because he or she is obese.  (I'm not making this up.)

Well now, we see again that people making personal choices about unacceptable “lifestyles” are making legal inroads to validate their behaviors.  AH!  More opportunities for lawyers.  More chaos… more money.  Who writes these laws and regulations?  Shoe clerks?  Sea captains? Civil engineers?  No, Virginia, lawyers write these abominations… and neither you nor I seem to be able to do anything to stop them.

AIDS is a disability… but, I shan’t go there.

Can you hear the price of air travel rising?  Who is going to pay for those ADA seats for big people?  Who will measure those seats for compliance? 

My fellow followers in the forum… we cannot fathom the farcity being foisted upon us by fools… WHOM WE ELECTED!
