Thanks for the response. I am one of those fairly seriously disabled people for whom access is all-important to for example employment -- because the world is fairly accessible, I was able to get educated and to now work in software engineering, where I'm doing well for myself. I do need a couple of hours of outside help per week primarily in my own home for cleaning and and such things, but otherwise I'm self-sufficient.
If I couldn't get physically anywhere in the outside world, I'd be institutionalized at worst. And at that point, the logical next step is to start saying that I'm a useless ward of the state.
People criticising disability accommodations should consider whether they want to morally blame me for causing costs for being out there, applying myself to the maximum of my ability, or whether they want to blame me for causing costs being a "useless eater" -- although I'm sure minimizing the said costs by reducing me to the bare minimum of existence might feel easier that way. Mind you, while being employed, currently my income level is sufficient to cover a lot of the extras I need out of my own pocket. This helps create the hypothetical free market of services that disabled people are supposed to be using. But nothing of that sort would ever happen without accessibility in the first place.
I actually live in Europe which tends to be quite "socialist" about these things, and in the disability community over here, we're quite jealous of the ADA and accessibility in the USA in general. That's saying much, considering we rarely otherwise would want to live in the States.
