Ok, It’s later and I’m ready to talk about it:
Other than the fact you all left us to die one of the most infuriating aspects to 2020 is that during the 30th anniversary of the Americans with disabilities act, you all were so incredibly inept when it came to discussing the law.

There will always be a certain number of people who will never be able to use masks, but the way anti-maskers toyed with the ADA to spread disease is unconscionable on for them AND FOR THEM. Yes, I blame you both.
Allow me to put it this way: neither side knew the ADA well

Enough to engage in this level of bullshit: Anti-maskers didn’t know the ADA well enough to use it and you all didn’t know it well enough to defend it. And you all can use the excuse that “you didn’t know the law because it doesn’t pertain to you,” but that’d be a lie, because it

Who led the charge against “drive by lawsuits for accessibility.” You know, the same accessibility keeping your employers from putting you at risk RIGHT NOW.

Their stimulus proposals: the same liability protections that will gut the ADA and other laws.
So yeah, that’s the deepest of ironies to me. Anti-maskers don’t know how to use the ADA, and you all don’t know how to defend it—and disabled people have been fighting to preserve

And add two it the entire time to protect us all...
...And you left us to die.
