97. my point is that since nearly 13% of the population is over 65 & since 80% of folks over 65

have at least one chronic condition, & since there is a baseline of disabled/ill people in the under-65 population as well, i don't see that 1/10 people having a disabled permit is a big shocker.

and those over 65 = 16% of the population in california.

so i don't see the big shocker.

nor do i see the point of stupid articles like this that suggest tons of people are cheating. no evidence other than anecdotal evidence is presented.

you may have a different opinion, and you can discuss your opinion without asking me stupid questions.

at the moment, for example, i myself am disabled, though not over 65. impaired mobility, hopefully not permanent.
