That’s an example used in the OP meme, but the context still suggest all those other things, too. That’s what the “news is always like” part is. You can replace wheel chair access with all sorts of things and the meme would still ring true.

The context of this thread is my criticism of that example.

Finland did not in fact make ice cream free, but you don’t challenge that. This is a meme, it could have said anything that sounds grotesquely arbitrary and callous, like banning left handed scissors, even if two-handed tools are probably more easily available in America than in many other parts of the world, perhaps even Finland.

Except the OP’s point would be much better made by criticizing something the US doesn’t actually do pretty well at.

Wouldn’t it?

Check the thread as a whole, my guy. Your critique of the example isn’t where people started disagreeing with you, but the secondary argument you made when someone said the meme itself isn’t just about wheel chair accessibility.

Literally the first comment was disagreeing.
