I'm not sure how to separate this mindset from one that would have commercial buildings not be required to include elevators and wheelchair ramps. Do you also think that's an unfair burden to put on the roughly-90% of people who are not mobility-impaired? (Not implying any judgement either way, just curious if this is a consistent viewpoint).
- int3 2y agoI think one difference is that there isn't a great alternative option in the case of commercial buildings -- if you have a job in a given building that doesn't accommodate your disability, you can't just go find a different building. But insofar as food is concerned, you could pay more for more carefully-manufactured food, or just cook for yourself
- ozgrakkurt 2y agoBut then you are putting that burden on those people. You don’t have to work in that commercial building either you can find another job for example

- Elinvynia 2y agoThen you should hope to never become mobility impaired :) Remember, we are all just temporarily abled and one accident away from needing accomodation from society.
- hot_gril 2y agoExactly. It's like insurance, even if you have no sympathy, you're probably ok paying a little for other people's accidents because you could just as easily have one. Allergens are different, though.
- olalonde 2y agoI doubt it would change my opinion though. It's a matter of principle for me.
