I’m conservative and disabled…😲🤔. Maybe I just believe in free speech, fiscal constraint and see the utter inefficiency of socialized medicine in lived reality. Because in my very Liberal country of Canada they are now euthanizing disabled people, calling it mercy, but really it’s to save money. That is literal eugenics and genocide. And more people are becoming disabled through prolonged lack of sufficient care. Don’t mistake being Liberal with being virtuous or right. Please don’t politicize disability it does nothing to help disabled people at all to use us as your soap box.

It would be great, so long as its free market, but lets not let us be used to usher in socialism under this guise. With population decline and technology we can make this more a reality. Bur let just make sure we’re not being politicized in the process.

It didn’t show up until they were a little older and God blessed me with them I wouldn’t trade any of them just because they are not what Society thinks perfect is I think they are perfect yes they are going to have a harder time at some things in this world but the meek will inherit the earth.

Being disabled isn’t an identity. It’s a material reality because we’re mortal and one day we all age and become disabled.
This was a good video.
Meanwhile in Canada the government is euthanizing disabled Canadians. It is now a leading cause of death. It’s eugenics and genocide. This is supposedly progressive liberalism.

Ι am not what you mean in this comment.
Anyway, being disabled is an identity as well, because you are judged for it and people treat you differently because of it. Many times unfairly so

Hundreds of thousands are unemployed. I am one of them.
Very good brain, very disabled body. I get 75% of minimum wage to life from. It’s enough to pay my fixed costs. Not enough for food. I wish our government was understanding more, and would help us in a positive way.

I wish the idea of inclusion wasn’t seen as so innovative that it needed a TED talk. I applaud this man for finding a way to employ PWD in a society that still holds such huge biases, but I look forward to the day when we don’t need to be faceless to be employed.
I am a person with disability and I *do* have a part time job in a rewarding professional role. But that is in a large company with more entrenched anti-discrimination practices. The small business sector never looks at me twice unless I come with some sort of subsidy — because all they see is ‘risk’.
If the pandemic taught us anything, it’s that flexibility can be implemented at the drop of a hat if the economic benefit is significant. And how is it not significant to the economy as a whole if more people are gainfully employed?

So many people think disability means useless. Lots of fearful thinking. Too much categorizing not enough knowledge or understanding of the person and the value in difference.

I am surprised that disability can affect in employment. I think our society should be more and more developed, and disabled people shouldn’t be discriminated. If we try to eliminate discrimination against disabled people, they will live in better society. I am very inspired by this video.
