notes@foxhkron It reminds me of this meme:
Hello57vismaybe I am all wet, but any discussion of self driving cars that doesn't talk about "blind" or "disabled" is IMO an incomplete discussion
:)
The Spoonless Kitchen@Hello57 @notes @foxhkron And this is where #universaldesign needs to be prioritized everywhere, by everyone, regardless of belief, ideology, "wing" or false narratives about that mandatory ponzi scheme called "the economy" not being able to "handle" making life easier for everyone - and raising up those of us who've never been on the level with the rest of society, to become equal to other human beings.
...too much to ask? Yah, probably.
BuddaboundI wish my son would be able to learn a train schedule and have the ability to go where he needs to go or when he wants as an adult. However, we live in America, so he will have to depend on a Medicaid contracted transportation company to take him (only) to doctor appointments if he calls 72 hours in advance and they don't leave him sitting for hours after his appointment was supposed to start (which happens all the time).

sigh. . .sorry
here in Boston, the "T" will give a disabled person a free ride to/from doctors except . .
you have to tell them the exact pickup time which of course you never know when doctors visit will end
<rant/>
@thespoonless @notes @foxhkron
Down here in TN, you can call them when your appointment is over, and they'll show up sometime before 530pm, which is what the contract requires.
If only we'd collect and spend tax money for things people actually need.
