>I think the issue is that “the disabled don’t need access to everything” ends up with the abled deciding what the disabled deserve to access.
We’re talking about privately owned establishments. No one deserves to be able to go to these places. It’s a privilege to go, not a right. The disabled should have access to any public spaces, but extending that to private spaces is asinine.
Sorry no, I haven’t been to the ramen place, the state mandated they add a wheelchair ramp and they couldn’t afford it. Now it’s a Starbucks.

"Privately owned establishments" use public infrastructure and tax subsidies, why should people with disabilities be disproportionately and discriminatorily excluded from swaths of public life due to no fault of their own.
