No excuse was given. I don’t think you comprehended my comment. I literally said I was not talking about the very people you mentioned. I also said their care should not be contingent on the work and that my concern was making sure of that when changes are made.

Let me be clear. I’m talking about you as a person.

Two of those have been remade, are we talking only the originals?

Take solace in the fact that it’s unlikely the idea of you taking a shit could make you less attractive to them.

I actually found out she had it by watching that show. I was looking at her thinking, “she’s got the moon face.” Something that happens to us especially when we’re forced to take corticosteroids during a bad flair. And then I looked it up and was right. Lady Gaga also has lupus and is obviously still an international superstar. So I think OP will be fine as long as they don’t do an extremely rough physical job or work outside.

If they are actually exploiting people… I know this sounds like exploitation but this issue is pretty complex and there may actually be no “jobs” for a lot of differently abled people if there isn’t a carve out for certain scenarios. I say jobs in quotes because there are some places that are more or less daycares where adults of certain ability levels can go to work and do end up making less than minimum wage. But they are doing so because they are receiving a level of care and supervision at the same time. These are people who you could not just teach a job and leave to their own devices for any amount of time without endangering them. But they are capable enough to complete certain tasks. I have known adult aged people who’s elderly parents would not know what to do if they had to care for them every day all day.

That said, why in our society are some people put in this situation where the only thing they can do with their adult child is send them off to a menial job for daycare? It’s great that some people get the option to work, but they should also be able to receive care and not have to work menial jobs for sub minimum wages.

Like I said, the whole thing is way more complex than the no nonsense sound bite. If she were to just waive a regulatory hand and eliminate this exemption, without making more comprehensive changes, it might put some families in a very tough position. Having to suddenly pay for daycare for adults who previously were earning some amount of money.

But the places I’m talking about are usually non-profits employing these people to do work for other for profit businesses. It’s not the person at your local movie theater or grocery store working mostly independently and getting paid less than everyone else.

In my head this movie was made entirely because someone noticed the vague resemblance between Peter Dinklage and Josh Brolin.
