CW: Pol, weather forecasts & preparedness
On the one hand, I do get that cutting the budget to satellites that are used for #weather forecasting does cut back on their standard usage of that to give said forecasts, but on the other hand those forecasts haven't been more accurate than a coin toss to start with and as there's not even a plan set out there by any government entity nor sizable NGO to make emergency shelters #DisabledAccessible to the % of the population that's disabled nor to have them opened with enough time for disabled to go to said shelters, I'm not sure how much if any of a real "problem" this is.
I overall view it as more of an uncovering of a big mess set, than a mess itself thusly.

@PaxGeoffrey I'd want to see listings of businesses & meeting spaces that are #DisabledAccessible & within that how they are accessible, because I've seen places listed as "accessible" which weren't at all, many others that only are as such if you can use a phone & are willing to have things done for you, as you wait in a parking lot, and more than a few that were listed as not accessible yet had the most accessibility features in the area.

CW: Disasters, disability rights, US Pol
Reminder set, under 10% of housing is fully #DisabledAccessible, only about 1% of #EmergencyServicesCenters including shelters, are #DisabledAccessible. Most disabled people are below the artificially lowly set federal poverty line. Most disabled are likewise the least & last informed on public emergencies & as said people need the most time to travel, in cases where evacuation is needed. Most disaster/emergency response plans include leaving #disabled people behind, including evacuations, and then returning afterwards, including sometimes listing people after pets of ableds, to get said people (if they live).
Likewise #SSI at it's maximum is below a full time minimum wage pay, even as disabled adults are exempt from needing to be paid said minimum wage.
The highest percentage of deaths from the recent fires in California is of seniors & disabled, which isn't an accident overall but a set of public policy choices & a lacking of enough pushback against them, in it's enactment of #Eugenics.
