Mind your own fucking business. You don't know a thing about limp guy's history and how he has the money to afford not working. If I can retire young, I'm sure as shit not concerned about some judgemental crybaby calling me lazy because I could have a job even though I don't need it.

Whatever you believe you know, you don't know anything. You can speculate endlessly and make accusations, but you have no idea and you never will unless you get to know these people personally and intimately. There are too many scenarios to go through here to even list and mental illness and disability as well as many, many physical disabilities that prevent people from working are invisible.

I was 35 when I was diagnosed with a progressive, degenerative neuromuscular disease. I looked healthy and able bodied and no one would have guessed by looking at me sitting somewhere or riding public transportation that I was (that I am) gravely, untreatably, incurably, fatally ill.

And more to the point, who made you the arbiter of who can and cannot work? I know if I woke up tomorrow and was magically cured of the horrific disease I have and had to get a job, I would do it in a heartbeat. I would get out of bed, get dressed, go to the DMV and regain my license, and start filling out applications and giving out my resume to anyone hiring at any place I was remotely interested in working.

Does that mean everyone would? Should? Could? NOPE.

You have no idea what it is like to be unable to do the simplest things (like, say, walk). Be careful what you wish for and of whom you are jealous. You just might get what you want. Everything comes with strings attached. EVERYTHING.

Wow. That's angry.

I have this condition where I really don't like working, so the system should just support me. Don't be discriminatory and hateful towards my condition.

I know a few people who are terminal who cannot work, or if they could, would be so inconsistent that most jobs wouldn't tolerate it thus making it difficult to retain a job. That is literally why disability exists: to financially protect people who are disabled. I also know a few people who had the skill and good fortune of retiring early. For example my buddy who sold his share of an underwriting startup and spends his days now hiking and doing nature photography. At the end of the day what people do are none of your business. The only people who make comments about people not working are the people who aren't happy with where they are at in life. You need to dig deep and face those demons your self I/A.

Have you considered that maybe working on cars IS his job? How do you not see that this is none of your fucking business? And if you are so bodaciously gainfully employed, how do you have the time to monitor his movements every fucking minute of every fucking day?

This town is full of folks who got to sleep walk their way into a college degree, courtesy of their boomer parents, but didn't have the hardship or motivation to do anything besides spending their 20's riding their own melt. Now they're un-hireable

Please wait...
