One forgotten fact about film manufacturing was that Kodak provided employment opportunities for people who were blind in their fully dark film plants.
I can imagine the notches in the parent post as an innovation that came from a blind employee.

- Eleison23 4y agoWell, guess where the opportunities lie these days? Secure document destruction! It's true; I don't know if there are for-profit operations with blind employees, but there are definitely non-profits with blind volunteers who destroy corporate documents very securely!
- tdeck 4y agoWhy would someone volunteer to destroy corporate documents for free?
- lightedman 4y agoIt isn't free, it's just at basically a zero-profit margin by design and intent. Non-profit does not preclude people getting paid for work they perform.
- tdeck 4y ago> there are definitely non-profits with blind volunteers This phrase implies that the blind people aren't getting paid. If they were, they wouldn't be "volunteers".
- kelnos 4y agoBecause people volunteer for non-profits? I agree that destroying documents is a pretty tedious job, but some people just want to help out their favorite organization, and would volunteer for a lot of tasks you or I wouldn't want to do.
