Is Bob Dole still alive??
I’d like to thank the OR (Original Rino) for the ADA, which gives the cover of precedent to nonsense such as this....
The ADA was nothing more than a gift to trial lawyers who have used it to make money with nonsense lawsuits based on it.
When California installed roadside emergency phones they were sued based on the fact that they were not equipped with a number pad that could be used by the blind. All of them (one every two miles of roadway) had to be retrofitted.
So if car you are driving or riding in, breaks down and you are blind, feel secure that once you manage to find the roadside phone you will be able to use it.
This certainly isn’t nonsense. As a late-deafened adult, I rely on captioning and many hard of hearing people couldn’t watch TV without captioning. There are over 36 million people with hearing loss/deafness in this country and providing captions on the internet is not costly. The original videos are already captioned and it’s usually just a small step to include those captions on the internet versions. Google is way ahead in this and now offers captioning on all you tube videos. They have developed a program that can already do this and in a few years it will be much better. Google also has a voice to text feature in the android. This is because one of googles V.P.’s, Vinton Cerf, is deaf and he realizes that the internet puts everyone on equal footing and it should remain that way. Shame on you commentors who oppose the ADA.
