glasses and eye exams are separated from normal healthcare because if they weren't people would start identifying too much with the other people who rely on durable medical equipment to function
if eyecare was lumped in with the rest of healthcare we'd have fewer sleek suburban optometrist/opthalmologist combo clinics and more family medicine/opthalmologist pairings; getting glasses for the first time would be a doctor visit with referral to a specialist, just like getting any other assistive device
but no, we can't have our productive members of society identifying as disabled, that might promote solidarity 😔
thinking abt that ukrainian woman who moved to ohio to escape the invasion and like got so fed up with commuting that she just like moved back to ukraine
I’m not a big fan of the rhetorical framing of “seizing the means of production” or redistributing wealth from capitalists, both because that’s not how these systems actually function and because it provides capitalists with an ideological boogeyman. “They’re going to steal your PlayStation!”
No. We don’t have to seize a single thing. Nothing has to be stolen or taken. If you stopped paying your landlord rent, if the cops stopped enforcing the landlord’s claim, the landlord will have lost nothing but a rentier claim to your labor. You don’t “seize” your own home; your landlord has not lost something they weren’t even using in the first place.
