We've decided that "reasonable accommodation" means giving disabled people with service animals - who are a small percentage of animal owners - an absolute right to exist in public spaces Because, for better or for worse, public spaces already have animal hair in them

If you genuinely think that's unreasonable, then start by banning people from owning dogs as pets, who were and are the real problem for people with truly debilitating dog allergies Let me know how it goes

I don't think this person has heard of conflicting accessibility needs tbh. Like in order for a room to be fully accessible to me, it needs to be a temperature many other chronically ill people would faint in.

I'm very well aware of the conflict between accessibility needs. I'm asking Uber, Lyft, et al, to sort this out so that people with service animals AND those with severe allergies to animals, etc., can both use their services.

Not a single actual case that I've ever seen brought up has anything to do with allergies

Do you post just for the sake of arguing? It's exhausting... So we have to wait for that to be the case before we deal with it? I'm asking to push back on the companies that prey on precarious workers & do everything in their power to avoid any responsibility for their product.

I'm struggling to see what exactly you think Uber should be doing differently that specifically applies to this guy not wanting to pick up a disabled person when he unambiguously legally has to

What I'm seeing is a lot of condescending suggestions that Uber should make a special list of drivers willing to pick up disabled people Which would, in this case, be unambiguously illegal

Or... and I'm just spitballing here... provide these drivers with: 1. proper training 2. covers for seats, cleaning supplies, etc. Y'know, the type of thing that real employers should do if they're not hiding behind the "independent contractors" excuse, whist paying nothing.

Hey, in this particular situation she had a cover for the seat and cleaning supplies with her and texted the driver ahead of time to try to work with him, because she was taking responsibility for trying to minimize the risk of getting left (which she shouldn't have to)

But bringing her own blanket and lint roller and offering to take time out of her day to make him comfortable (which is WAY more effort than 99% of anyone who uses Uber puts into calling a ride) STILL WASN'T GOOD ENOUGH He STILL WASN'T WILLING

And yet we have to still give him the absolute benefit of the doubt and say this was a genuine "training issue" or him being genuinely rationally self interested
