Wheelshare is an Israeli company too.

Making disabled people contribute to a genocide by existing is too dystopian to be in a novel and yet here we are

[–] [email protected] 11 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I wonder if anti genocide activists in the UK could do something about this, like provide free wheelchairs to people who need them and draw attention to this evil shit

[–] bdonvr 10 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

I was imagining more smashing of things but that's also cool

And could also supply the free wheelchairs to hand out

Caricature of a country. Completely shameless and soulless parasites.

wheelshare out here doing tropes

Remember back in 2019, when left-leaning folks in the UK were like “the tories want to turn the NHS in to American-style health system”? And then us Americans tried warning them too, explaining how shit our system is because people outside of the US and aren’t familiar with it simply can’t comprehend how bad it is? How we all said Corbyn was the only hope for saving the NHS? Only to have everyone else in the UK say “nahhhh they’d never actually do that”.

How’s that working out for you, UK public?

to be fair, everyone here loves and values the NHS, even the vast majority of conservative voters. the only question is: do we love the NHS more than we hate immigrants?

the answer is spectactularly predictable doomjak

It's an Israeli company too

Just holy fuck how can people be this fucking cartoonishly evil.

[–] [email protected] 35 points 6 days ago (4 children)

Well in the US, you'd be given the wheelchair off the bat and then get the brutal invoice later.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 6 days ago

Big Hospital doesn't want you to know this, but all the equipment and supplies at a hospital is free.

All you need is a dulled safety vest and a metal clipboard.

$2/hr is far too cheap for US healthcare

[–] [email protected] 26 points 6 days ago

Nah i hear its okay, they've got a Labour government now, any second now Czar Kid Starver will rush in and take those wheelchairs away (so unsightly!)

Am I allowed to say people should kill themselves on here or will I get banned? Because I think whoever came up with this shit should kill themselves along with whoever approved it. If I'm not allowed to say that, I apologise.

We got an emoji for it and everything. I'm on mobile so I can't post it but I'm sure someone will below me

Trevor Moore was what immediately came to mind

I like this one

Whoever came up with this deserves to be strapped to the floor and run over with wheelchairs until they're dead.

we may have to start making excuses for the lack of terror

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 days ago

We're running out of excuses for the lack of terror

[–] [email protected] 19 points 6 days ago

porky-happy "See, the really great thing about this system is the Freedom of Choice. Either you choose to pony up the 2 pounds, or you choose to admit that you were always fully capable of crawling on your hands and knee and mangled bloody stump through the hospital and were just trying to be lazy and mooch off of our generosity. So now, nobody is oppressed. Isn't this better?"

Boris bikes

I would rather walk than utter this phrase

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 days ago

They're Livingston bikes in reality anyway. Boris had nothing to do with the scheme.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 6 days ago

Don't worry, sir Keith and the red Tories are going to stop this I'm sure.

The poster on there actually says it only costs from the 5th hour Also, the Website of that rental thingy says that its free aside from a deposit fee

[–] [email protected] 20 points 6 days ago (5 children)

We'll only charge you if you forget to return it during what is probably one of the most stressful times of your life wholesome

Nobody ever spends more than 4 hours in a hospital of course.

And it's fine to make people think "oh should I get a wheel chair or make rent this month" when they get to the hospital.
