  So risking everyone else’s life around you is worth it?

    It isn’t a negociation. If some bureaucrat ticks that box, it will just be the end.

  Another kind of solution. But not needed.

  Why not move to a place where low mobility doesn’t cut you off from the rest of society?

  There’s plenty of retirement communities where you can get around with a golf cart. In the 3 biggest cities here in SK, old folk can ride the subways for free, and sometimes you even see them drive mobility scooters on.

  Other places I’ve been have level boarding for buses, but I’ve never seen someone drive a mobility scooter onto one. Certainly it wouldn’t fly in SK.

    I don’t think I could afford to be homeless in SK.

      No, being in poverty is really bad here, but I just picked SK out as a close example, old folk becoming recluses who only interact with Fox News and people serving them is pretty specific to American and/or car-centric culture. Hell even car-centric parts of america have retirement communities where they all drive scooters or golf cars.

        Well in any case I’m here and not there and when that happens there won’t be money to go to some magical car free place. We have winter here and the groceries are 20 km away. There is no bus, no taxi and not even uber. Not that I would have the 60 bucks a ride would cost. Of course I would also lose my job which 60km away.

        So deer slug to the brain will be the prescription.
