I mean, it literally took me 30 seconds on Google to verify that this is a hoax and that the so-called FTBA (Freedom To Breathe Association) is not a government agency, but a group of crackpots on Facebook illegally using the Department of Justice seal on their propaganda. This card is, to quote Senator Romney, as fake as a degree from Trump University. Wizard's First Rule, I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pinecone Posted June 25, 2020 Report Share Posted June 25, 2020 To be fair, some folks cannot wear a mask, and are exempt under the ADA. But this sort of blatant abuse is wrong, and I hope there is regulation in place to be enforced. Maybe a "fraud" clause in the ADA...

Matt the Bruins Posted June 25, 2020 Report Share Posted June 25, 2020 A "Sure, let's just go out to your car and see the disabled license plate or placard that goes with officially being classified as disabled by the Social Security Administration!" might nip that in the bud. Or pointing out loudly for the crowd's amusement that people with respiratory conditions making mask-wearing dangerous are the LAST ones who should be out flouting safety precautions. The threatening language reminds me of those bogus warnings people put up about about theft of their online content being punishable by a year in jail, as if copyright infringement is something violators do hard time over.

They are exempt under the original State order as well, in California. You do not need to wear a mask if you have a medical condition which impairs your ability to breathe... what are you doing out in public though?!

IndianaJoe3 Posted June 26, 2020 Report Share Posted June 26, 2020 On 6/24/2020 at 1:04 PM, DShomshak said: The US Constitution offers no way to dissolve the Union, but countries *can* sell territory back and forth. (leaving aside the Louisiana Purchase, there's still the Gadsden Purchase, or buying Alaska from Russia.) So for instance, if the US sold Pugetopolis to Canada to become part of British Columbia, LL and I could become fellow countrymen without having to abandon family, friends and my home. While the rest of Washington would become another deep red state to vote for Donald Trump. Repeat to transfer, say, the 20 largest or most liberal urban areas to Canada, and most of us get what we want. Liberals get single-payer health care; Trump's base gets an all-red America that can change the Constitution to make him king and declare Eveagelical Christianity the national religion. A lot fewer black, brown and LGBTQ people, too! It also means losing a big chunk of economic productivity, but well, that's a small price for righteousness. God will provide. I've thought about this, only my thought experiment had the President transferring some blue states to a less benevolent country (Russia, China, etc). I realized that this would have to happen by treaty, which would require approval of 2/3 of the Senate. I stopped worrying about it after that. wcw43921 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry the no need to prove I'm disabled is in the rule, and for a reason. Privacy is a right as determined by the supreme court. I am just as enraged by conmen as any one else, but I don't think this needs vigilante enforcement. Though, just having such a (not required, or issued) card might be a "tell" that this person is a fraud.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the bartenders are using them at work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

megaplayboy Posted June 27, 2020 Report Share Posted June 27, 2020 I'm a firm advocate for applying The Chicago Way to situations like this. If Russia pays the Taliban to kill our troops, we pay the Kurds and other rebels to collect Russian heads, attached or otherwise.
