Always wondered how so many of them get away with this. It's a scheme that is passed along by friends and family.

Yep... now check out Golden Corral.

There's a lot of people who don't appear to be handicapped but who are and need those spots. I try not to judge as it's none of my business really.

I can easily get a sticker for my back and hips (from military service) but it actually does me more good to walk an extra 20-30 yards each time I park, so I haven't gotten one yet.

My wife has rheum. arthritis from the time she was diagnosed with it in her teens. She has a sticker though often we won't take a hc spot esp. when we can find a spot that's close nearby. There are people who REALLY need them and we may not know who they are.

You are saying a program to give people free cell phones was started by Reagan in the 80s?

You should have witnessed after a hurricane or 2016 flood when they could buy hot foods!

If you had any idea how few foster parents there were out there you wouldn’t make such silly assertions, it is nearly impossible to find a home for anyone that is not a young child without a history of abuse which makes them extremely undesirable and vulnerable

Don’t judge, he may have stolen the truck from someone with insurance.

Plenty of dealerships would finance it, it’s a win/win for them. The fool walked out with a 10% interest rate and likely won’t be able to pay meaning it will be repossessed or refinanced for 8 more years at a much higher rate

Using someone else's EBT is illegal...

Bull Excrement. If you can walk fine, you don't need that spot. Like you said, exercise would do us all good. People want special consideration...

I was in line behind a guy buying a bunch of shite at Dollar General recently. He used an EBT card, and explained that he was a foster parent. He seemed embarrassed by using it, but it was groceries for those kids that nobody else wanted. Don't be quick to judge.


Yeah... The overwhelming majority of EBT card holders aren't in that situation.

Lazy.

It’s a black female that had just had her hair and nails done and bought 9,000 dollars worth of champagne and crab legs on EBT then loaded it all in her new Escalade.

Then at the least he committed a crime. It doesn’t change the OP’s point.
