You do know that other places in the world have disabled people and children who go to school, right?
They seem to still be alive.
They also tend to have less sprawl, more homogenous and high trust societies (relative to where most people live in the US), and a shaky history of true legally enforced disability considerations. On that latter part, there still isn't a good equivalent to the ADA in European peer countries. Europeans will hand wave it away, but it's too patchwork and exclusionary.
All things in this scope considered (i.e., not healthcare necessarily), I'd rather be disabled in the US than in Europe or most Asian countries because the US actually have strong legal protections both federally and at the state levels. Lack of extensive public transport outside of a couple major hubs is obviously a problem for most people (especially the disabled). But no other country comes close to enshrining protections like the US did with the ADA (and how some states extended it even more themselves).
we're kidding ourselves if we pretend it's anything more than a de jure situation.
Yeah they have CARS.
