    Nice, now even if I become disabled I still won’t be free of a job!

    (I recognize that this may be an incredible achievement and quality of life improvement, but the way this news is phrased is absolutely ridiculous)

    Is that all humans are appreciated for? Working full-time jobs? What if the dear precious ALS guy just wants to enjoy his life? What if he doesn’t want to participate in the rat race? God forbid somebody collects disability paychecks and sips margaritas on the beach in Cancun, just as he’s entitled to.

      We already have uber rich people to collect money and sip margaritas at the beach, what are you talking about?

        I’m talking about some random guy with ALS who just wants to enjoy his life instead of being forced to work a full-time job like everyone else.

    No need to spread bad news.

    Good about the increased possibilities though.
