    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

      In most of America you can’t walk to the store even if you don’t use a wheelchair. At my old place I could see a grocery store from my house, but it was on the other side of a limited access road, I had to go 1.5miles to a pedestrian overpass to be able to get to it making it a 6 mile walk to get 100 yards.

      I’d imagine walking to the store in a wheelchair to be incredibly difficult.
