Garrison Keillor's Jab at Disability Pensioners

I usually like humorist and radio host Garrison Keillor, but I thought his latest short essay was a jab at folks who once worked, but now collect disability pension.

I know he's trying to poke fun at himself, and I know he's complaining some unions haven't negotiated better disability benefits, but to my taste, his approach just ends up trivializing disability, the need for adequate national disability benefits, and the need for better labor advocacy.
