The Americans With No Abilities Act (ANAA)
Democratic Senators are considering introducing legislation that will provide new benefits for many more Americans. The Americans With No Abilities Act is being hailed as a major legislative goal by advocates of the millions of Americans who lack any real skills and ambition.  “Roughly 50 percent of Americans do not possess the competence and drive necessary to carve out a meaningful role for themselves in society”, said California Sen. Diane Feinstein (D-CA). We can no longer stand by and allow People of Inability (POI) to be ridiculed and passed over. With this legislation, employers will no longer be able to grant special favors to a small group of workers, simply because they have some idea of what they are doing.


In a Capitol Hill press conference, Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) pointed to the success of the U.S. Postal Service, which has a long-standing policy of providing opportunity without regard to performance. At the state government level, the Department of Motor Vehicles also has an excellent record of hiring persons with no ability (63% according to a 2016 survey).
 
Under the Americans With No Abilities Act, more than 25 million mid-level positions will be created, with important sounding titles but with little real responsibility, thus providing an illusory sense of purpose and performance.


Finally, the Americans With No Abilities Act contains tough new measures to make it more difficult to discriminate against the non-abled, banning, for example, discriminatory interview questions such as, “Do you have any skills or experience that relate to this job?”
 
“As a non-abled person, I can’t be expected to keep up with people who have something going for them”, said Mary Lou Gertz, who lost her position as a lug-nut twister at the GM plant in Flint, Mich., due to her inability to remember righty tighty, lefty loosey. “This new law should be real good for people like me. I’ll finally have job security.” With the passage of this bill, Gertz and millions of other untalented citizens will finally see a light at the end of the tunnel.
 
Said Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY), “ As a senator with no abilities, I believe the same privileges that elected liberal officials enjoy ought to be extended to every American with no abilities. It is our duty as lawmakers to provide each and every American citizen, regardless of his or her inadequacy, with some sort of space to take up in this great nation and a good salary for doing so.”


This message was approved by Diane Feinstein, Barbara Boxer, Maxine Waters, Elizabeth Warren and Nancy Pelosi........All Americans With No Abilities whatsoever!!

This joke is from 2004. I can find it sorta funny, but at least get something new. At least you updated the names.

Any reason you wouldn't choose the humor section for this post? Otherwise isn't this contrary to the new prime directive?

1. It's a rule.

2. The staff do, it's a rule.

...but I don't think this violates it, mostly because it's clearly a joke, but also because you aren't negatively generalizing entire groups of people.
