Of all the things you could reasonably criticize the US over, wheelchair accessibility ain't one of them. Especially compared to Europe.
I thought the idea was that Republicans are actively working on destroying what has been working fine and is benefitting lots of people, not just on preventing more progress.
It's purposefully hyperbolic to illustrate a point. You think that Finland is seriously making all ice cream free?
I would not be the least bit surprised if all the Abbotts and Thomases and Trumps and Desantises (Desanti?) announced tomorrow that they would no longer be supporting the ADA's immoral drain on ~~commercial profits~~ governmental budgets.
And before someone points it out, gutting a system that he has personally benefited from to fuck over Texans is exactly the kind of thing Abbott would do.
On the other hand, disallowin wheelchair ramps because there are not mentioned in the Bible would be a very American move.
Equal access to every building? Sounds like a commie plot.
A very southern American move
obligatory mention that it's not "The South," but ~30 minutes outside of any metro area in the US.
Evangelical Christian assholes are not uniquely southern, have you been anywhere outside of a city in any state?
You think this tweet is bout wheelchair accesibility??
Lmao yes, we are one of the best in that regard.
Thank you American Disability Act!!
huh? america is absolute garbage for wheelchair access, the ADA is absolutely not sufficient
fuckin have fun navigating the average suburb with a wheelchair, you can't even walk to the store in most places
Or roll into the store.
To be fair a good chunk of the buildings in Europe are older than america.
New builds tend to take differently able people in mind these days
