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

    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.
