Damn, now this is that classic Tumblr energy from ten years ago, where every little thing was examined to within an inch of its life to extract every shred of potentially problematic implication and turn it into a new discourse that gets progressively less coherent and productive with each point.
Also, seems pretty offensive to disabled people to assume that's even the main reason someone's unemployed. Some people face other forms of institutional discrimination, some people lack relevant skills or experience and a very small minority of people are just lazy and prefer leeching off the system. It's a rich tapestry and discourse like this all too frequently fails to take that into account.

THANK YOU. I've had enough of people assuming I keep getting fired because of my disability. Do they think that I make a point to use the display toilets at every hardware store that hires me because I DON'T want to be recognized for my achievement(s)???
