i know this is 1/2 but it reminds me how i've expressed frustration before about how people talk about companies having to get rid of accessibility features (namely Disney but they just get a lot of press - it's an issue with so many companies) because too many folks are taking advantage of them.

but the reason folks take advantage of them is because they've chosen to make the normal system brutal and horrible to the average person. it's their system they designed.

the average person should not stand in line in hot weather for hours to get on a ride. it's not just miserable - it's bad for a relatively able person's health.

the reason people typically will "fake" a disability for accommodations is because really, everyone should have them

the curb cut effect has it backwards so often

it's simply showing how we design things poorly for everyone and then get angry when people want access
