The ADA isn't some surprise gotcha that crept up on any of these people, it has been around for 36 years. The problem is that 36 years later, people are still ignoring the fact that disabled people even exist.
Whether or not we want to admit it, this stuff happens because people think and act like it is okay to disregard accessibility.

- infamia 29d ago> The ADA isn't some surprise gotcha that crept up on any of these people The ADA was written in an extremely non-specific way that allows unelected bureaucrats to reinterpret it every so often. To be honest, the US would probably have a more accessible society if the law was better written.
- kube-system 29d agoThat's a problem with executive political appointees more so than the unelected bureaucrats. Career civil servants working in a regulatory capacity are typically very consistent experts who do a good job of taking vague shit that congress would otherwise fuck up trying to define more specifically and interpreting it in a way that makes practical sense to people who know what the fuck is actually going on. It's the political appointee leadership that tries to pull the creative reinterpretation nonsense you're talking about.
