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.

They would never make the fish flavored ice cream free. The economy would collapse.

We don't have fish flavored one, but we got ice cream that tastes like ammonium chloride

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?

Especially compared to Europe?

What? Europe very sound protection for the disabled. Putside of historical buildings built before disability care you won't find better access anywhere.

I get America is pretty good too, but your comment makes it sound like Europe is a nightmare for the disabled.
