“Engracia Figueroa, a fierce advocate for people with disabilities, passed away on Sunday due to complications from injuries she sustained when United Airlines destroyed her custom wheelchair last July.”

"United broke Engracia’s wheelchair and refused to replace it. The loaner chair the airlines provided to Engracia did not support her properly. Her skin broke down, became infected, and she died."

Also, apparently airlines damage or destroy 29 wheelchairs A DAY. Wheelchairs are part of peoples bodies FFS.

Last night it got well below freezing, and so it's a very cold morning. Best solution for that is Coffee Time!
