Even without abuse, one can understand the burden on business to be ready for any disability that may come in at any given time rather than being allowed to focus on those that are a more regular occurrence for their location and clientele. I'm disabled and I don't see this as evil. A bit self serving and inconvenient for me at times, sure, but not evil. I remember in Penn & Teller's Bullshit, they put someone in an iron lung and got him to go to different places (in L.A., I think. Could be wrong). Not a lot were accessible to him. That bullshit episode was bullshit. The ADA protects much more than what they criticized there, which was basically just ramps and handicap parking. Imagine a blind person having to prove they are somehow working on "getting better" just to keep their job. Just one more step towards Nazi Germany here. --- Hive Mind of Dark Aether, the unofficial Metroid Social Private board. https://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/851-dark-aether <cite>P4wn4g3 posted [p:896159805] in Congress i...

Thats insane and completely fucks over people who are disabled. This. The fact that the complainant is personally responsible for making sure the business complies is ludicrous. --- http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i215/estonc/grizzly_bear_chairs_2.jpg http://i.imgur.com/8kjZU.jpg <cite>eston posted [p:896160442] in Congress i...

r4X0r 02/15/18 7:21:07 PM #59:	All this does is protect business owners from people looking to hit the lawsuit lottery by going "they discriminated against me!" Now businesses will have to be informed in writing that changes need to be made to their facilities, and they will have six months to comply. THE HORROR! Like most things, the moaning about it is largely because it's Trump. If it were Obama, you'd all be applauding his move to protect job creators while preserving the rights of the disabled. --- I faced it all and I stood tall- And did it my way. <cite>r4X0r posted [p:896160876] in Congress i...

There is no lawsuit lottery when it comes to this. You can't even get money damages in ADA cases. The easiest way to prevent these lawsuits it to make your place of business accessible. Again, they've had since 1990. --- http://i.imgur.com/0Bi86cp.gif <cite>legendary_zell posted [p:896161575] in Congress i...
