Question : Does anyone know if the airlines and the rental cars accomodate this?
I am a handicaped man but can walk short distances with the aid of a cane. Recently, I traveled by Northwest, but I didn't need my cane because they took me all over the airports by a wheelchair attendant.
Now, I am looking into a mobility scooter that I can buy and take to MLB baseball parks and through the airports.
Answer:
Airlines are equipped to handle travelers of all abilities, including those using power wheelchairs and scooters. Just make sure that you call the airline well in advance, to find out their policy on checking your wheelchair or scooter and to find out how early you need to arrive so you don't miss your flight.
The regular car rental companies do not provide cars with wheelchair lifts or ramps, but there are companies that rent strictly wheelchair and scooter accessible vans. I work for Ability Van Rentals, and we rent vans by the day, week, or month, just like you would rent a regular car from Enterprise or Hertz.

Question : Would open borders and free markets result in prosperity?
I've heard that true globlisation allows for the absolute free movement of goods, labor, and capital. I've also heard that labor mobility would do more to alleviate global poverty in a year than foreign aid over five years. Is this true? Why hasn't it happened yet?
Answer:
Most probably it would result in relative prosperity for many of the worlds poorest people and, like you say, alleviate global poverty. The problem is that lots and lots of people in our part of the world have jobs that could very easily be replaced by some poor person who'd be willing to do the same job for 5% or less, of what the "rich" person is being paid. That, of course, would be devastating for many, many people here in the US and in rich countries elsewhere. Which is why you always see the labor unions fight for tariffs and protectionism. Most all of the labor union members live sheltered lives and would never be able to compete in a open market for labor. The same is also true for most all farmers in rich countries, that are very heavily subsidized.
