Obamacare and Dependency.

I suppose this has a slight para-Olympic theme.

Although I don't really like doing this you may remember that I have a friend who suffers from Attention Deficit Hyper-Activity Disorder (ADHD). He used to work as a delivery driver for a food wholesaler before setting up business as courier which essentially means he's a self-employed delivery driver. Anyway I've been trying to get hold of him recently. In part this is because I haven't spoken to him in the best part of three months. A much larger part though is the fact I'm pretty sure that I could have made the event of his step-daughter dragging him to Beyonce's concert in London on Sunday (2/3/14) a lot more interesting.

The problem is that someone keeps interfering with his phone with calls don't get connected etc. This obviously makes it very difficult for his girlfriend to get hold of him creating pressures within his home life. It also makes it difficult for me to get hold of him and most importantly of all it means that potential customers cannot get hold of him. As a result his business is becoming dangerously dependent on a heavily government subsided food retailer that specialised in supplying Obamacare-style free school meals to deprived inner city children. In effect he has become a delivery driver for this company only they don't have to worry about things like paying him the minimum wage.

This is obviously being done to provide the UK with a grand case study demonstrating how they can they can transform the disabled into a cheap labour force. Perhaps mis-reading their audience this is obviously something the UK wants to showcase at the para-Olympics because the independent living approach to disability is clearly something that is highly valued by para-Olympians.

What is quite amusing is that the US - primarily through Barack Obama's Twitter account - are trying to claim they are responsible for these communication problem's as punishment for my refusal to get on board with their operation to destroy Rihanna. I say it's amusing because it's quite clear that the US and Obama in particular have absolutely no influence whatsoever over this situation.
