The mayor’s office says it would be the first major U.S. city to enact such a plan.

    Or the normal name, fothergill’s disease. Very painful indeed, ay but maybe starting out with that would’ve been better than claiming semi-disabled, because that’s a bullshit term. You have Fothergill disease, you’re disabled.

    You misunderstand, I simply don’t care what you go through, and I don’t care about offending you in the slightest. We’re on the internet, we’re nothing to eachother and will likely never interact again after this. Sure, it sucks for you, but it has exactly 0 impact on my life.

      No one calls it Fothergill’s disease. Not a single medical professional has ever said that to me. That’s not a “normal name” that I have heard anyone use in any context outside people like you who find it on internet searches.

      And no, when I said semi-disabled, I meant it. I am able to work and receive disability to make up for the lost time when I can’t.

        In your anecdotal experience people don’t call it that, congrats buddy.

        Semi-disabled is bullshit. You’re disabled and partially rejected for work.

          My “anecdotal experience” with dozens of medical professionals.

          And you’re actually claiming semi-disabled is not real but semi-employed is?

            Good job, you figured out what anecdotal means.

            Might be a language thing, I wouldn’t call it semi-employed at all. There is or there is not.

              Yeah, it might be a language thing because I’m guessing English isn’t your first. But feel free to find evidence that “Fothergill’s Disease” is the common name in the U.S. where I live. I’d like to see it.
