@guineapigyt Im not sure how you corelate the free market being synomous with liberty? That doesn't make sense, you will need to elaborate for that to make any vauge sense. The free market if left unchecked runs over everything, employees, consumers, Governments, states, you name it. It creates monopolys, dictates how, when and why. Im not arguing for the state to run everything, im saying the state needs to slap the market every now and to stop it doing what it wants.

@Melbournevilla keep telling yourself that as you sell your liberties away for some sense of a safety net. Foolish consistencies.

The free market should never be allowed to run itself 100%. Its madness to think that it would regulate itself and not try and fuck as many people over as it can.

@jonafreeman The problem is that there aren't that many disabled people and even then they each have different disabilities.
Think about it for a second. Only about 1% of the US population uses a wheelchair, that makes those who know someone who are in a wheelchair only about 10%. Also, only a few of those will be present or hear about how they were badly treated. That might only be about 3% in the end.
Don't you think there was a reason why disabled people wanted this to begin with?

businesses are more image-conscious than government even can be. people can hate the government forever, but it's still there and there's nothing you can do about it. businesses have PR, marketing, stockholders, all these things that are affected by their image. taint their image with boycotts and get media attention, and sure it'll make a difference. fight the apathy. fight the laziness. make a positive change for once instead of saying "bah this can never work." stop being part of the problem.

@madichelp0 you really think the families and friends of those treated unjustly and the ripple effect of people around that would be too apathetic and "lazy" to do anything about it? the thing is, people have a more effective voice against a company. boycott them, and they lose money and are forced to adapt, change, or go bankrupt. the government lays down the law, so good luck with that. I think that laziness comes from the view of futility because it really is pretty futile to fight government
-
The problem is that people are too lazy to boycott a company if they don't treat disabled people equal. Just look at how long it took before people stood up against the banks in america even though they buttfucked the customers!
On paper the idea is good, but in practice people are simply just too lazy.
