How many is " many"?

Based on your posting DNA, it appears you might be referring to the 170 +/- Orthodox Jews in Lakeland NJ charged with defrauding various welfare programs.

There are 42 million +/- people recieving SNAP benefits. Most are children, disabled and/ or elderly.

Again, those non-seniors/children on food stamps who can work, most likely are working

You've never met someone with severe migraine headaches. My sister's friend is on disability from them. I'd rather be dead than her.

Has she tried medical Marijuana. I saw something on people with migraines benefiting from that.

It might help her migraines, but it will blow her right out of the water if she applies for a job that requires a drug test.

I believe the point here is that you can't necessarily tell by looking who is or is not disabled.

She lives in Ohio.

I don't think the omnipotent State has sanctioned sales in that location yet.

Here it is, still "weeks away"...

This somehow strikes me as amusing, happening under Trump.

Trump has never in his life worked at anything like what most of us would consider a real job - never had to settle for a paycheck that was a little small, never had to sit through an anxious job interview, never had to worry that Daddy might fire him, never had to watch his step.

He would have been booted out of any respectable corporation long ago, given his inability to control his temper, plus his sexual intrusiveness.
