Disabled people, too

Lots of revolutionary things started out extremely expensive and got cheaper over time.

Yeah, which is one reason poor and disabled people are still marginalised and excluded, funny how that works, eh?

Tell me you don’t understand economy of scale without telling me you don’t understand economy of scale.

Tell me you have nothing to contribute to the conversation without saying you have nothing to contribute to the conversation (and also that you're happy to excuse poor and disabled people being marginalised and excluded)

I think he was pointing out instead how things like personal computers were a thing only for the rich, but regardless of their accessibility, personal computer access was revolutionary which led to further reduction in cost and an increase in standardization which leads to cost cutting which leads to libraries in the US on average being a bastion of internet access for the poor and disenfranchised. You know, nuance.

And I think they were just making irrelevant excuses for marginalisation and exclusion, you know, the side of nuance you typs never seem concerned with.. 🤔
