I'm a little sad that the video is unlisted on the White House Channel and I appreciate you linking to it in some of your other excerpts.

@haben_girma absolutely 100% agree. Honestly, I don't understand why it's seen as extra in the first place. People should be happy to help instead of more concerned about money. It's disgusting how people have prioritized money over literally anything or anyone else. Situations like this, however, make it very obvious between who has their head in their butt and who actually uses their god given empathy. You're doing amazing I hope you continue to speak your heart and truth until something gives❤️ and because things like this get looked over too often. So you gotta make people stop and think about it for even a moment. You're amazing!👏🏻🤞🏼

@@BiggestMarph You need help figuring out if this video is a joke or not. You do realize you are asking for an accommodation, right? And that is absolutely okay! Everyone needs accommodations in one way or another - this is true. People laugh in the video because they feel surprised and amused by the revelations - all true!
@romebigred218 күн бұрын
In this case, accommodations means "compromise or settlement" according to the second definition in Merriam-Webster. When using this term applied socially, we are citing legal terminology of accommodation for disability, which means a compromise or settlement to do things outside of the norm. I'm not saying that you're wrong about justly requesting accommodations. People should not feel upset when needing to provide accommodations. These accommodations are extraordinarily important, and allow us to have a much richer and more diverse society. We all benefit when accommodations are provided for those with specific disabilities, by allowing those people to participate in society, and benefiting from their unique perspectives and abilities. That being said, I don't think your argument quite works. It is important to understand that it is can be difficult and expensive to prepare and accommodate for needs that are outside of the norm. It's always a difficult situation, and I say that from my much easier position of not experiencing most disabilities. I have received accommodations for a few, but in general, I really need accommodation, so I recognize that I do not understand how difficult it can be for some people with specific disabilities. I just think it's not a simple issue.

The other difference is the amount of people that need that exact accommodation. The more the better because money ~ Same thing with disease that many people have. They get many treatment options.
