This does seem to be a bit hypocritical.

This is great news.

I think I’ll sue YouTube for not having captioned videos.

So now H&R Block is an essential service, a constitutionally guaranteed right, and the disabled have no other ways or options to file their taxes

Let’s posit that you are an American with a disability.

You are a progressive.

There’s a website that you disagree with, so it is of no use for you.

See where this is going?

I have a psychological disability that keeps me from being able to drive all vehicles...except Bentleys...brand new because I am allergic to stale auto smells...and must be a convertible because I have claustrophobia...and I have seizures so there will have to be a dual control mechanism with a 24/7 servant to take over if I zone out. (Hand held out waiting for check)

At some point, it has to be recognized that there are some things the disabled are not able to do. That’s why people help each other.

Umm....

They do have closed caption videos.

That’s what the (cc) at the bottom of the video is for.

It’s not hypocritical, it’s insane.

My wife cannot use email but she is not handicapped in any way, Under this law every web site existent is in violation of the stupid law.

Porn sites are in trouble.

If one has no hands and cannot masturbate the site is unconstitutional if it cannot do it for him.

Yeah, maybe 0.001% of them are captioned, and none of those are “adult content” videos.

Discrimination! Lawsuit! Lawsuit!
