imagine if shoes cost $2,000 a pair for ones that do not actively hurt you and are designed to be walked on for more than just a few steps. $2,000 at minimum for the luxury of being able to move around without being injured. that is what wheelchair pricing is like

Can't just leave these in the tags.

I feel like a lot of people do not know how much wheelchairs cost so

one that is actually designed to be used independently, rigid frame, without any fancy electronics, is a lot of money.

how much do you think the wheelchair shown below is worth?

this is $1,600. this costs one thousand six hundred dollars with no customization, on SALE. this is a SALE price. this is one of the cheapest rigid wheelchairs I could find from a reputable seller. different models cost thousands more and even basic customization can tack on a ton of money.

[marley-vaa]

Bitch, it's better to get a dollie and a stick at that point then.

[mamoru]

yeah...that is basically what people do. or they are forced to use pieces of crap folding wheelchairs that hurt the user because they are intended primarily for being pushed. if you have someone with you 24/7 who can push you everywhere? a wheelchair costs a couple hundred for one that might cause a little less bruising than a hospital model. want to be independent at all? you need thousands of dollars for a proper fit or be willing to constantly injure yourself.

[briarpatch-kids]

I literally JUST purchased a properly fit wheelchair that was designed to be active, independent, and fit my needs. Nothing fancy, I think I got a tire upgrade so I can go on gravel and flip down handles so I can keep people from kidnapping "helping" me when I don't want them to, but also got a less expensive cushion and backrest than standard and a $1000 discount off MSRP for paying in cash.

Turns out the price of freedom for me is exactly $2354.

My uncle bought a wheelchair after his accident, that is meant for rough terrain, it's built like a tank, the thing has treads, it can lift him upright so he can continue to pick from his orchard.

It cost more than a brand new car. Almost 60k for a wheelchair he can use to sustain his farm. JUST to sustain his farm.

Its ridiculous. Disabled people deserve affordable accommodations and mobility devices. They aren't all fucking rich

[librarychair]

And there is no practical reason for them to be that expensive. Similarly constructed bicycles run around 200-500 dollars new.

[autisticeducator]

It’s because manufacturers think “Limited market- we can jack up the price and make more per unit. Look at the cost of anything in the US healthcare market aimed towards disabled or chronically ill people”

Why do you think informercial items exist? The majority of them are to make accommodative items more accessible and affordable, and sadly to do that, they market it to the ables as a convience item so they can sell it at a cost disabled people can afford them (which is why some people have such rage against these items). When viewed in that context, infomercials are really disturbing.

I started using Head and Shoulders ten years ago for itchy scalp and dandruff, and then for ten years I have not had itchy scalp and dandruff, so I thought "why do I still buy shampoo to combat itchy scalp and dandruff when I do not have itchy scalp and dandruff," so I stopped buying the shampoo for itchy scalp and dandruff and can you guess I have now? Can you predict what currently afflicts me? It's alright if you can't because apparently I fuckin couldn't either

[andhumanslovedstories]

Cutting something out of your life because you think you don't need it any more only to realize that it was in fact working as intended and preventing a problem that will return should you stop doing this is a good experiment to run periodically with something small like dandruff shampoo, lest you start to think it would be a good idea to do this with like let's say public health and the social safety net and vaccines

[thomrainierskies]

I had a liver transplant when I was 14 and like six months later I was chatting with my surgeon and he said “there’s gonna come a time, probably when you’re a teenager, where you’re gonna think, ‘I feel great, why am I still taking all this medication? I haven’t needed it in years.’ and you’re gonna want to stop taking all this medication. Guess what’s gonna happen then? You’re gonna go into rejection and your liver is gonna start failing, and you’re gonna be dying again, and we’re gonna have to find you another liver. So don’t do that.” And I said “why the fuck would anyone do that?” and he said “people are stupid.”

every once in a while when I get annoyed by a pharmacy or don’t wanna get out of bed to do my drugs I think “ugh, this is dumb, why do I do this?” and that conversation slams into me like a truck and I remember that I am, in fact, stupid

The people who hate this are probably the ones traumatizing their children

[lesbiangender-deactivated201908]

this is a show for 3 - 6 year olds what is WRONG with these monsters???

[lesbiangender-deactivated201908]

Fun fact, sesame street was created to fill the gap in education for children whose families could not afford to send them to preschool. Sesame street taught basic math and phonics as well as interpersonal skills so that children below the poverty line weren’t starting elementary school behind their more privileged classmates.

Here sesame street is trying to fill a gap where supportive adults should be. Where there should be a teacher or a family member or a counselor to help, for whatever reason, there isn’t, so Sesame Street is stepping in.

This breed of person has always hated Sesame Street. They hated it for showing black and white children playing together. They hated it for giving children of color the head start that rich white families were paying for. They hated it for Bert and Ernie for showing two MEN who LIVED TOGETHER, for the married black nurse who lived on sesame street when it was first released, and for them explaining death. I feel like there was a pregnancy at some point in its early days and they would have REALLY hated that.

These days they don’t (usually) say “I’m not letting my kid watch anything with black kids in it” but they sure throw a tantrum in the youtube comments when Sesame Street DARES to show an autistic girl playing with non-autistic children and being treated like shes anyone else. They lose their shit when Sesame Street has to explain incarceration to 5 year olds. And the muppet in south africa with HIV? Hoo boy.

They hate everything Sesame Street stands for and tries to provide. They always have. We just have to ignore them and keep supporting the show. Or tell them to shut the fuck up and keep supporting the show. Either way Sesame Street will outlive them.

Sesame Street will outlive them.
