No, it still took my wife nearly 4 months to find any of those in our immediate area to call her back last year, too. We don’t own a car. I can’t work manual labor or retail jobs because I am disabled. Thanks for your input.
I’m sorry, that was wrong of me, I was ableist in that comment and I’ll leave it or delete based on your input. I’m thinking leaving it up so others who might see it might learn from my mistake on the off chance they didn’t already know better…just in case, but idk.
I was projecting my own experiences and should not have done that. Not all labor markets are the same and employers discriminate a hell of a lot behind the scenes despite the minimal protections.
Thank you, that’s decent of you. I get comments like that a lot and I have never had someone respond with an apology. There are also definite cases of employer discrimination that affect these statistics in more or less subtle ways, too- we know for a fact it took us longer to get any calls back because we didn’t have a car even though we live in a metro area, and that my wife has a deep voice that people get really shitty about. Both of those things lead to her getting passed over, in our experience anyway. When I was a younger guy it would have been super easy for me, but I am not either of those things anymore too, lol.
That’s kind of you to say, but I was clearly i the wrong based off assumptions I made based on myself and my privilege, I have able bodied, if not able minded privilege.
For what it’s worth, I truly do regret that comment. I was bitter about all the office workers complaining about how the economy is finally hard for them too because it’s always been hard for people without that access. It led to me punching towards a comrade. Th

I was wrong, thanks for calling me on it
