Agreed. On Friedman and the rest.

The report was one sided but that does not mean the users of these services are not blameworthy simply by omission.

Bad journalism, surely. But hardly mis-leading. Had they tried harder they could have targeted the users also.

Who cares?

It becomes a circular problem. It you let anyone cut in then the line itself becomes redundant and the cut in line becomes the new line. Such special considerations can only operate on the basis that they are few and far between. Clearly these hucksters were not already at DL and were helping people out. They pimped out their services external to the venue. Freedman would not be proud for it isn't a sustainable system and economic Darwinism doesn't apply here.

Clearly it undermines the special status given to people with disabilities and risks the future tenability of such considerations.

I was being sarcastic
