Fat people will be protected from discrimination under law passed in New York as critics warn it opens door to ‘sue anyone and everything’
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12076041/NYC-ban-weight-discrimination-critics-warn-allow-people-sue-everything.html A controversial bill protecting fat people from weight discrimination has been passed in New York City. The bill, which is set to be signed into law by Democrat New York City Mayor Eric Adams this month, would outlaw discrimination on the basis of a person's 'height or weight' in 'employment, housing and public accommodation'. But it has already triggered outrage in some quarters, with Republican New York City council minority leader Joseph Borelli claiming it will empower people to 'sue anyone and everything'.

If the fatties spent half as much energy unfatting as they spend bitching about people calling them fat, there wouldn't be a problem any more.

If you spent half as much time eating as you do bitching about people eating you'd have nothing to bitch about as you'd be part of the team.

Quoted: But it has already triggered outrage in some quarters, with Republican New York City council minority leader Joseph Borelli claiming it will empower people to 'sue anyone and everything'. Instead of just whining about about that Republicans need to embrace and prove that point in reality. They need to get 400lb person that is willing to participate, go to every city funded public facility, and demand accommodations for their weight. Something as simple as demanding an extra wide chair in the waiting room for every city department. When the city fails to immediately provide it they sue the city. Then start hitting up every liberal establishment open to the public. Complaining about it does nothing. The Republican's need to take action and then make it hurt. This is the way. |

Fatty wanting to... - be a Hooters waitress - be a gym coach - be shortstop for the Yankees - only be charged for a single coach-class seat even though they take up 2 - spend 8 hours at the all-you-can-eat buffet - be a professional sports cheerleader - sue Abercrombe & Fitch for not carrying size 87 dresses - sue Foot Locker for not carrying xxxxx-wide cross-trainers - sue Victoria's Secret for not carrying 56GGG bras |

Quote HistoryQuoted: If the fatties spent half as much energy unfatting as they spend bitching about people calling them fat, there wouldn't be a problem any more. What’s crazy, is I fully believe there are millions of young fatties who have never been told being fat is bad, and the push for everyone’s lifestyles to be “ perfect”, healthy at any weight, is fooling kids it’s perfectly healthy. Kinda like smoking, generations grew up thinking smoking was fine / normal, but once the health issues were known it quickly died down. I grew up hearing the health problems of being fat, knew it to be bad, but now millions believe weighing 500lbs is healthy and they are as beautiful and right as a 130lb woman who exercises and watches what she eats. Futures gonna be chaos in a few years when all of this bullshit starts dragging society into a ditch. One benefit though, socialism and collapse will have everyone at a nice slim physically fit appearance.
