No, it's an internal locus of control. If I went into the Disability Olympics I'm guaranteed at least the bronze. Believe you me when I say we could share some war stories about how the world is not set up to accommodate everyone.
That said, my point is that this is not the place to discuss that. It is not acceptable to go into a thread about people who did die in a way they could not have foreseen, and try to force the discussion onto people who could have died. Especially when your scenario hinges on poor planning and reliance on a known unreliable service for critical needs.
You're claiming ableism and saying that the world does not accommodate you, while callously downplaying the lives that were lost by people who were trying to do exactly that. If Amazon deliveries are what you rely on to survive, how can you brush off the deaths of those working to bring you those goods?
Nobody is obligated to talk only about the crew deaths. Arguably it's sanctimonious and tacky to make a big show of "respect" for strangers who died. (Or else you had better publicly mourn everybody else who died from less newsworthy causes.) Meanwhile somebody alive shared a personal experience of being disabled, while making a fairly minor point, and you kind of shat on them.
I'm not sure we read the same thread here. I only brought up the casualties in response to the statement that if you aren't focused on the shipping delay here, you're callous and don't care about the disabled. Being not particularly well off on that front myself, I found that to be an unreasonable and selfish comment, one that attempted to hijack a tragedy to further someone's unrelated agenda. I would fully accept that I could have read into it something that was not there, had it not been for the followup "ableism" comment immediately afterward.
If they had approached from a different angle, something like "Remember that this can have knock on effects, my sister is waiting on her insulin delivery and after a particularly rough week a missed delivery could be fatal" it wouldn't have ruffled feathers. Instead it was phrased such that anyone who hadn't considered that concept was morally deficient. You claim to be upset by my "sanctimonious" behavior and yet view the post I responded to as just "sharing a personal experience"?
