To be fair a good chunk of the buildings in Europe are older than america.
New builds tend to take differently able people in mind these days
Europe didn't have a law about it until 2016.
Europe doesn't set all the rules at the EU level, this type of thing was probably law in many EU countries before it was law at the EU level.
Cool. Not sure how that counters anything I said though
It supports my point.
How so if anything it counters it. Europe had made changes to the law to ensure help.
While not being g in America there's a huge selection bias from the media no doubt tha sure as shit ain't happening
Because the US law was passed in 1990.
That's fair but it's also not the point of the post which is the us rolling back the laws that help people. Your just keeping an ultra narrow focus because you think it's helping hide that fact
My point is that it's a bad example.
No I'm not.
European countries had disability laws passed in 1945
While the wikipedia page you cite does have a section heading called "1945-1992", that's only because it uses WW2 and the EU treaty as endpoints. Not because laws were being passed in 1945. Moreover, the cited page doesn't list country-level laws in 1945-1992, it lists international treaties; and the earliest listed treaty is from 1953.
