Nothing is your fault. Big brother will take care of you. All you have to do is vote for it.

We should have compassion for people with disabilities but compassion doesn't mean bending reality.
For an extreme example blindness is obviously a disability IMO but the nature of the disability precludes the blind person from doing most jobs.
That's not discrimination because some person is being unfair. That's because their reality is unfair compared to people who can see. You just don't get to be an airplane pilot when you are blind or an athlete if you have muscular dystrophy

If I went to the doctor's office and my physician weighed 400 pounds, I would get up and leave.
So many procedures require physical dexterity and there is not way a 400 pounder can perform the procedures as well as a physically fit person.

this seems like a great opportunity for Texas SCOTUS to punt on the "disability" question and skip right to the reasonable accommodation.
I think you could do both. Rule that the roles of an emergency care physician do not present any reasonable accommodations that do not put the health, safety, and life of patients and other physicians at risk as well as increase liability for other physicians and the care facility.
While also re-affirming the standing precedent from Richardson vs The Chicago Transit Authority that Obesity as a stand-alone is not a disability. If the result of an underlying then the reasonable accommodations in place for that disease would qualify, but not in and of itself.

Those extra large people are about to eat well thanks to the generational eating income they will soon earn from all these discrimination lawsuits.

So if I decide I want to stop working, I can use food stamps to buy calorie-dense junk food, get super super fat, then get a monthly check for disability?
Is this the American dream?

Mounjaro is on fast track for FDA approval. Looks to be first miracle drug in a long time.

Cloward and Piven's article is focused on forcing the Democratic Party, which in 1966 controlled the presidency and both houses of the United States Congress, to take federal action to help the poor. They stated that full enrollment of those eligible for welfare "would produce bureaucratic disruption in welfare agencies and fiscal disruption in local and state governments" that would: "...deepen existing divisions among elements in the big-city Democratic coalition: the remaining white middle class, the working-class ethnic groups and the growing minority poor. To avoid a further weakening of that historic coalition, a national Democratic administration would be constrained to advance a federal solution to poverty that would override local welfare failures, local class and racial conflicts and local revenue dilemmas."[2]
They further wrote:
The ultimate objective of this strategy—to wipe out poverty by establishing a guaranteed annual income—will be questioned by some. Because the ideal of individual social and economic mobility has deep roots, even activists seem reluctant to call for national programs to eliminate poverty by the outright redistribution of income.[2]
Michael Reisch and Janice Andrews wrote that Cloward and Piven "proposed to create a crisis in the current welfare system – by exploiting the gap between welfare law and practice – that would ultimately bring about its collapse and replace it with a system of guaranteed annual income. They hoped to accomplish this end by informing the poor of their rights to welfare assistance, encouraging them to apply for benefits and, in effect, overloading an already overburdened bureaucracy."[3]
