"Grau wants more wheelchair users to come into the shop, as repairs happen much faster — only two week’s wait, on average. Wheelchair users are loath to adopt this, as coming into the office can be physically treacherous for them"
vs. a technician fixing the chair in the house.
But how about something in between? A medium-skill employee who takes the chair from their home to the repair facility? They would need to carefully document what's wrong with it, so they need a little skill but not as much as a full skill repair tech.
- giovannibonetti 2y agoIt seems like a good job for non-profits. Anyone with a suitable car should be able to volunteer and help their community.
- advisedwang 2y agoI'm not a wheelchair user, but I can imagine it being a non-starter to have your wheelchair just taken away from you. What if the tech doesn't bring it back? You're just stranded! Even if they do bring it back, there's potentially a lot of time stranded.
