WHAT IF I TOLD YOU A PACK OF IDIOTS DESIGNED AND BUILT SOMETHING TOTALLY OFF LIMITS TO PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES LONG AFTER THE ADA WAS ENACTED?

THEY ONLY ADDED CRAPPY, BEGRUDGING ACCESS AFTER A LAWSUIT


The Vessel, a $200 million, 150-foot tall eyesore that serves as a monument to ableism.

As we celebrated the 36th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act this summer, remember that this giant middle finger to the ADA opened with virtually no wheelchair access. 

This supposedly immersive (but not inclusive) public art reopened after a massive redesign (not for more wheelchair access, but to prevent frequent suicides). 

It remains a gross example of toxic ableism in my book.
