Unfit for Work: The startling rise of disability in America
I&#x27;m torn on this subject. I truly believe in a social network. But it drives me nuts to see people milking it.<p>My neighbor in one side of me is in a wheelchair from an injury from an altercation years ago. His previous profession would easily accommodate a wheelchair. But he&#x27;s an asshole and does not participate in society. So he&#x27;s on disabiluty.<p>My neighbor in the other side had a sit down sales job before having a stroke at a young age. Now he has to walk with a cane and says he can&#x27;t concentrate and is tired. So he can&#x27;t work. But he&#x27;s fit enough to go out nearly every night until 3am partying and can concentrate enough to play poker 5 nights a week. He&#x27;s an asshole too.<p>Then I see the poor single mom who&#x27;s busting her butt to make ends meet and going to school but she never gets a paid sick day.<p>This seems like an allocation disconnect problem in the system to me.
