Inquiry 3

In this interview Sunaura Taylor talks about living her life with a physical disability. I seems like a lot of the thoughts she thinks able-bodied people have about disabled people are simply in her head. When she lived in Brooklyn it may have been different, but I don't know to many people that would have a problem lending a hand to a disabled person. Overall, Taylor does a good job of explaining how small parts of every day life can be a big deal when you are disabled. I think Butler ruined the interview by continually bringing up gender issues and anti-capitalist rhetoric. She states, "That depends on ... the social-service economy not being decimated by the effects of capitalism." This implies that capitalism is somehow making it harder for people with disabilities to live, when in reality our country has been capitalist since it began and it is the most handicapped accessible in the world. Do capitalist societies hinder disabled people?
