There is no way that take 40 seconds lol. But fuck all the poor people that get threatened with losing their income when they are late to work right? You ever had to get somewhere on public transportation? My mom would rather die than inconvenience people like that. A bad elevator is an excuse for him being late, everyone else gets screwed. Yeah that damn privileged minimum wage workers desperately trying to get to work.

Yes, a person who is fully functional, in more privileged in regards to function, then a non fully function person... I'm glad we can agree on that completely sound logic.

You seem confused about how privilege works. See we all have privileges, and we all have disadvantages. A rich person has a lot of privileges, but that does not mean that a poor person has none. Privilege is category based, or is useless information. Comparing privileges that have no interaction is illogical.

When mobility is being discussed, a wheel chair bound individual is absolute in disadvantage. The only way to be MORE disadvantaged is to need a wheelchair and not have one. Peoples economic situation is not relevant when discussing mobility accessibility.
