Of all the things you could reasonably criticize the US over, wheelchair accessibility ain't one of them. Especially compared to Europe.

    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.

    Is.. is that actually what happened? My younger self might have assumed you were exaggerating, but my current self has seen too much to assume anything.

    Idk, man. Finland has been posting some Ls recently. The Orpo Cabinet is all about those tax cuts, business-friendly deregulations, big new military spending budgets, and tighter restrictions on immigration.

    Basically doing Reaganism, Finnish style.

    Per the bible, we aren't really even allowed to be human beings and are all born wretches full of original sin. If that's true than I'd rather have the free ice cream and body tattoos and promiscuity while I'm going to hell.

    Actually, America is one of the most disabled-friendly country in the world when it comes to access struggles like wheelchair ramps and elevators
