It can even be dangerous for some people to be in a standing position for too long. I have a severe case of POTS caused by a genetic disorder. My heart stopped during a tilt table test, which is where I was forced to remain in a standing position. If I’m expected to pay more for a normal seat just because I’m disabled, that’s ableism.

Standing still in place for a few hours is waaay more uncomfortable than pacing and walking around. Shifting the weight on our feet really helps
I can’t imagine how awful these would be, especially with how cramped they’d be packed in (otherwise they’re no smaller than chairs). God, you couldn’t even bend down to scratch your knee.

This is why some people use wobble boards with standing desks. Makes a big difference.

Cowards just need to go all in and hang us under the plane like an overhead roller coaster.

Too much skill and engineering involved. The people that run our societies, specifically capitalist societies, because that’s the only thing that’s left, are too obsessed with the profit motive to actually even attain something like this. Unless you’re just being flown around like meat and your survivability is not guaranteed.
