    There’s a simple solution here: ban fat people from using the lifts

      Ah yes, and if we’re excluding people from society because of how societal problems affect them, let’s revive the vagrancy laws and reopen the debtors prisons, perhaps even a concentration camp or two?

      Or you know, we could either try to fix the problems that cause obesity, or we could require lifts to be upgraded to match the reality of modern demographics, maybe even both if we’re feeling really ambitious.
