She can walk and isn't obese so naturally said dickheads assume she's fine. Nevermind her multiple back surguries, ruined lower back, knee surgury and lingering trouble, constant severe joint pain, and other issues that are invisible to the naked eye.

Around here in OH, at least, you have to have pretty good documentation to get one of those placards and while some corruption exists it isn't particularly commonplace. The large majority are legitimate. Maybe it's different in your state.

craven bully

I don’t berate people for it, it isn’t my style. I wouldn’t assume the worst of someone enough to actually confront them about it

In Texas it’s abused. Doctor’s note and some other stuff as far as I know. Lots of obese get them. I don’t like it because in a major city like Houston, spots are hard to come by and you may have to walk. People have children with muscular dystrophy and cerebral palsy who need those spots to unload a wheelchair and they can’t because a 600 lbs person took it

To each their own bud, but I confess it’s perhaps my #1 pet peeve. That or poorly disciplined children whose parents give them everything they want

See utopian socialism doesn't stand a chance.

The guy whos job to clean it would just be passed out next to them every day and so they were covered in wasps.

The government had to assign everyone a job, and it got so ridiculous there were jobs so small and insignificant, it was laughable.

Imagine if the government assigned you one of those jobs. The government. Not a manager or boss. An entity that is so far separated from you.

I really can't blame them for falling asleep. When your job is so boring and there's no incentive to stay busy, you run into failure.

Now zoom out, and there are thousands of examples just like the sleeping guy. It got so bad that the government removed chairs from factories so the workers couldn't sit down.

replace chairs with sick days and the american buzzer goes off

Or the government shelling out crazy amount of cash for unemployment during the Pandemic (or rather AFTER the Pandemic)

That's why I put the disclaimer in; in a nation that has some degree of states' rights, things will differ region to region and not always in a positive way. I accept that. OH is pretty good on that one but it's pretty bad in some other respects. Par for the course.

Otherwise, post was just a reminder that sometimes someone can look outwardly okay but have problems that aren't immediately apparent. We can't see pain. My wife would look like an ordinary slim middle-aged woman to you, but on bad days, she walks fifty feet and has to stop because she hurts too much to continue. On good days she can go farther. She only uses her placard sparingly, when she truly can't make it. We don't like abuse of the system's goodwill any more than you do.
