ADA Wank, with a side of Mac Vs. PC and Liberal Vs. Conservative!
So, two California women are suing Apple for alleged accessibility violations in its SF retail store. The comments on the article are, needless to say, wanky, with some complaining about the liberal activist agenda, allegations that the women are just out to make a quick buck, and the occasional disabled person chiming in on both sides of the issue.

Also, WTF is a "standing wheelchair?"

	When I was in SF (about two months ago) there was an article about this disability lawyer who represents people when stores aren't ADA compliant. One of his clients sued three or four restaurants in one day. Apparently this lawyer is making biiiiig bucks and store owners all over SF are coughing up to avoid going to court. Wish I remember his name :( (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Someone in my neighborhood in Los Angeles was doing the same thing. A lot of ma and pa stores almost had to close down because they couldn't afford the lawsuits. Anywhoodle, I'm not sure what happened with all those cases except that the lawyer made lots of money. I wonder if his clients (if he even had any? I don't remember) got their handicap access or not in the end. (Reply to this)(Parent)
