If you are silent about your pain they’ll kill you and say you enjoyed it - Zora Neale Hurston
This is one of those posts where I feel like I’m doing others and myself a disservice by not sharing. I wish someone had shown me this a long time ago.
Maybe I’d be having to do less work to break out of this shell, now.
It’s all “we love mobility aid users” until we say that small businesses shouldn’t be allowed to get away with violating the ADA and then it’s all “but but the money giving you the same basic access as everyone else is soooo hard and expensive”.
If a business doesn’t have an ADA-standard ramp it deserves to fail. If a store can’t keep its aisles clear and wide enough it deserves to fail. If a business can’t keep the floors even and non-slip it deserves to fail. If users of any mobility aid can’t navigate a business it deserves to fail. We are not a nice addition or an extra customer base. We are non-expendable human beings with the right to enter public places with the same ease as everyone else.
