@Endthemisery1 She literally says her job isn’t the issue. A little bit of critical thought would get you to where she is - how society structures employment, regardless of how much an individual likes their job, needs vast improvement.

@ImNotAbdi @JJKALE2 “It’s not my job to answer your questions” is such a cop-out. If a journalist/interviewer is using the piece as a platform to get their view across, as piers morgan does, then as pointed out, they absolutely should be held accountable and answer questions too.

For me, as a disabled person, I have definitely seen the issues being discussed by RTD & I don’t see how it’s ableist to acknowledge and dismantle a harmful trope.
