Chicago’s mayor is sick of looking at all the disgusting fat people that he has to work around, and wants them to either get healthy or pay. He didn’t say that exactly, but he might as well have, from this story:
The Emanuel administration estimates that only 6 to 8 percent of city workers — including smokers, those overweight or suffering chronic illnesses — drive two-thirds of the cost of Chicago’s healthcare budget. Under the wellness program, employees will have choice: either join it or pay $50 a month more in premiums.
So that’s $600 a year to be lazy and able to do what you want… totally worth it. None of this would be necessary if we could just go back to the old ways of controlling obesity, ridicule and humiliation.
Really!? You’re going to claim that word? You have the opportunity to let it default to the definition, but no, every time someone says something is “retarded” the intellectually disabled activists get all up in arms, Don’t say that, stop insulting us… From Politico:
The Special Olympics is disputing the White House claim that its chairman, Tim Shriver, accepted Rahm Emanuel’s apology for calling liberals “retarded.”
So, Rahm Emanuel called liberals “retarded” and the Special Olympics got offended. Don’t these people know that the definition of “retarded” can mean:
To make slow; delay the development or progress of (an action, process, etc.); hinder or impede.
Occurring or developing later than desired or expected; delayed
And a bunch of other crap that doesn’t have to mean someone with the IQ of a 4 year old. Let it go, damn… F’n Retards!
