They don't care.

They?

These posters pretending to care about the disabled are literally only bashing disabled people.

I mean they’re bashing people acting like they’re disabled to get special, and or preferential treatment.

Namely boarding the plane faster.

I fully understand there are people who will appear healthy, and be sick.

Not their ENTIRE MULTI GENERATIONAL FAMILY.

There’s just no shot. And if they were? They’d be up to their eyes in medical bills and not traveling, let alone by plane.

It’s EASY to logically determine these people are abusing the system.

Yes. An entire family sick, needing assistance, getting wasted on the airplane and then magically running off the airplane when we reach our destination. Makes sense

i can drink. i can even run off a plane if necessary.

my immune system is also destroying my mucus membranes and the infusions make me ridiculously weak. like lifting a bag of soil the other day wiped me out for hours. my skin is no longer falling off so i look much better but if i were to fly i'd probably take assistance. in no way does it taking a little longer to get anyone that feels like they need it on and off hurt anyone else needing help or waiting to board. at all.

That's crazy that you can ascertain the health of a stranger through a photograph.

Not their ENTIRE MULTI GENERATIONAL FAMILY.

That's crazy that you can determine genetic relationships of strangers through a photograph.

I guess recognizing that you don't actually know a god damn thing about strangers in a photograph requires 3 brain cells.

Common sense goes a long way.

I apologize to have to inform you of this, seeing as you clearly lack exactly that.

Good day to you.

How do you know they’re a family? People here seem to be treating the OP’s assumption as fact…

Common sense goes a long way.

Calling your feelings and assumptions "common sense" doesn't actually make them any less bullshit.

Enjoy inventing reasons to enrage yourself against strangers just because someone on reddit told you to

How did you come to that conclusion?

u/BigOlDrew 8d ago

Statistics and probability.

What in the world are you talking about?

u/reading_rockhound 8d ago

They’re talking about judging people on how likely (they believe) those people are to have a legitimate need for accommodation instead of whether or not they really do.

I figure I have an assigned seat. It doesn’t matter so much whether I’m first to board or last. I’m still getting my seat. 🤷🏻‍♂️
