Most people in the US equate health & being ablebodied with morality & wealth (among other things).
Which is super ironic given the vast majority of the population is eugenics-ing themselves and their families into poverty.
@joffirphd.bsky.socialSen. Tammy Duckworth just said on Colbert, "We should all live long enough to develop a disability," & the audience laughed uncomfortably.
I can tell you what they were thinking. It was "Not me. That would never happen to me."
& the underlying, unacknowlged premise was "b/c I'm better than that."
