Facts have long had a well known liberal bias

So this just proves their idea of free speech means “I say whatever the fuck I want to and you just shut up and acquiesce” not free speech for everyone. Thank Laura for saying that part out loud again

I don’t think “truths” means what he thinks it does.

There was a time limit on that. There were also many hoops to jump through. It isn’t an overwhelming burden on me to pay the toll, that’s irrelevant to using disabled people as a means to win a disagreement

No it was leaving disabled people out of the equation and non “normal able bodied people”. He said “like normal able bodied people” so that doesn’t include me. His comment wasn’t meant to include me.

Able bodied isn’t bringing disabled people into it. He was being specific about normal able bodied NYers. People who live there and can get around on their own. You brought the disability in.

“Able bodied” which is when you brought disabled people in.

“Most disabled people” was your comment so yeah, you did. “Able bodied people” did being disabled people into the conversation you did.

All of my Drs are in the congestion zone. I am a Sloan Kettering patient and Columbia patient. I don’t have a choice of Drs to see for the cancer I had either.

So you want to be pedantic about it? What counts as “living there”? If I am there 2 weeks out of the month can that count as “living” there too?

Except you brought disabled people into this with no understanding of how hard it is to get around the city for someone who can’t walk. I spend half my time in Kips Bay walking that far wouldn’t be possible for me. Driving is how I would get there. I’m literally there half my time. Does that count?

The fact is this impacts millions of disabled people whether we live in manhattan or not. Please don’t try to use us as fodder in an argument with someone about this.

But many depend on cars to get them around. Literally millions from the surrounding areas as far as 3.5 hours away depend on specialists in the city. I do. That means driving. I can’t take the subway most places. Buses either. I don’t live in the city or get Medicaid so accesaride isn’t an option.

What percentage of disabled people who live around the city do you think own cars and drive to Doctors and hospitals in the city? Asking as one of them. Don’t make assumptions about the disabled. Public transportation is not easy for us. Many stations don’t have elevators either.

Speech? Fact checking is speech. Calling out bigots is speech. What you want is what the poor young white men who said they felt ignored by society want and that is privilege. Privilege to say and do as you please and have it be accepted silently by those you harm. Fu@k off dick head.

Vanity Fair too. It’s amazing isn’t it.

I think if we break down the world into societies and religions, races and sexes the answer to everyone in at least one group is an apology at minimum and in some cases I agree with little cousin in the comment above, reparations. What will you get, nothing. Deserve vs receive should be taught too.
