Hell they just otta go full throttle and supply eyes at all the businesses - kinda like they do interpreters. We have to supply the info in the language they speak. I'm surprised we haven't had to supply "readers" for those that can't read. ....... what am I sayin?......... shhhhhhh!!!!!

I just don't "see" this as a major thing that the govt and taxes need to worry bout right now. We surely got bigger and more important things to be worried about - but looks like perhaps not. I have never seen a blind person shopping alone - maybe I'm sheltered but I just have never seen it. Just seems like we all learn to live with disabilites, we do the best we can, as it is I struggle everyday to hear somethings, and to communicate with folks that don't speak my language - there are just so damn many special interest groups that I wanna be part of one. I'm feeling a little minorityized.

I think that medicare or something could easier supply the $349 readers than it could change our entire currency system over a lawsuit. The original plantiffs otta donate some of thier money to helping the homeless that are blind that don't get any assistance cause they have no address to mail the disabiltiy check to. There are numeroous folks like that in everytown.

What about the deaf penalty?

We better hurry up and appropriate this program before they move us to the cash-less society.

Make no mistake Wordy, the taxpayers WILL pay for whatever the government does. Being willing isn’t an option.
