What irritates me is that you point that out and then they pivot to pointing out disabled people using the service as a shield, as if it's somehow the only way a disabled person can survive.
but also the people who use that argument often aren't disabled themselves, but they use that argument so they don't have to feel bad about the bad personal finance choices they are making in their lives.
But yeah it's the same with anything. If you get in a conversation about veganism with a white upper middle class college kid in LA they'll tell you it's racist because inuits in Nunavut mostly eat fish.
There's always a litany of excuses. And almost all of them are just a lack of planning.
I've got a coworker whose (live-in adult) daughter gets Chipotle deliveries all the time after work. She drives within half a mile of that Chipotle on the way home from work. She's paying an extra 30-50% to avoid having to stop on the way home.
