How the heck do you make a website braille? And most browsers have text-to-speech capabilities built in.

“I’m from the government, and I’m here to help you.” Even a blind-from-birth person can see through that lie.

That’s easy... instead of writing it in bytes, you write your site in brites.

Peopod can afford tech people to make accommodations. But there are lots of small micro-businesses that are going to be screwed, including me.

This will be a disaster.

I’m just glad my bank’s drive-up ATM has braille.

Yep, lots of extra work for web designer/developer to make websites completely accessible.

Shouldn’t people with disabilities order by phone or have personal assistants or courtesans and knaves to do all their work?

Which company filed a back office complaint with DOJ to inhibit a competitor?

Is the Obamacare website in braille, does it have wheel chair ramps and large bathroom stalls? Absolutely ridiculous.

The ADA has been used as a club to extort money form businesses for years for “discriminating” against people with “disabilities”.
