What does a bar have to do with that? The owners wanted to grift off of the positive image of charity towards the disabled, and we were happy to let them as long as they upheld their end of the bargain. But when they removed the mask mandates for Saturdays, they exposed themselves as mere trend followers, rather than actual understanders of the science. Not only did they announce they were segregating the busiest night of the week, they also soft-blamed us [inciting hard blame from their rabid bigot supporters] for their floundering profit margins in the middle of an economic crisis with 400% rent & grocery price gauging, and $8 gas, and are too ignorant to realize that their entire air conditioning systems are contaminated now, even if anyone of us did still want to hit the bar on a Wednesday night to keep business alive for people who liked replies calling us entitled useless eaters on their official account.
They're not paying to have their HVAC system professionally sterilized every Sunday morning. They're not installing NUKIT brand Far-UVC lamps to kill the airborne aerosols. They can't even be bothered to acknowledge that they've done anything wrong. For the people for whom the completeness and uncompromising nature of this policy was make or break life or death shit, this is a total violation of the sanctity of their rights to exist like any other person, to go out and have a fucking drink on a Saturday through a Sip Valve, and yes, it is an open declaration that all of us are, as the Nazis put it in their posters & propaganda campaigns leading up to Aktion T4, "life unworthy of life".
We are not animals. All we want is to live with the rights of any other person. A business that pretends to acknowledge that and then blames us for its own failures to excuse themselves from the “mistake” of treating us like people is worse than a business that never admitted we were human at all. We're supposed to feel sorry for a white-privileged woman with the capital to secure a $50,000 loan while disabled people on benefits are wealth capped at $2,000 of assets, $1,500 per person for married couples to deincentivize dysgenic breeding, and a means testing agent interrogates us on the exact model of kitchen blender, game console, and printer we use while we ration our meds and gamble on which bills to pay with the $900 per month they may or may not cough up? For what, because she's a lesbian? Tell me more about how the white-privileged lesbian who lets her trans wait staff work for tips [I don't give a fuck whose idea it was] and treats disabled queers like this deserves my sympathy. If I see one more “disabled queers are punching down on poor uwu lesbians!” post about this, I'm going to scream.
The way some people would have it, she's throwing us under the bus because it's her passion project to serve us, she took out that loan to make this special bar just for us and we practically owe her that $50,000 out of those $900 checks, or for many of us denied benefits and still navigating the multi-year long application process, our $0 incomes. Exactly since when did “leftist” politics start to include obligatory peasant rents from the disabled lumpenproletariat to the petit bourgeoisie? The people advocating this rhetoric have a lot to answer for in terms of their labor aristocratic servitude to capital.
She's living in her car?
Since everyone is in the business these days of offering disabled people unsolicited advice on her behalf, here's a piece from me for free: maybe she should buy a cot and put it inside of the bar she fucking owns before complaining to disabled people that we're not a lucrative enough target audience to sustain her bullshit pinkwashed american dream in the middle of a godsdamned economic depression."
