The rats at this truck stop are a little too big and friendly for my liking.
This is the kind of unfortunate mindset and distorted analysis we get from people who don't suffer from a disability or have family members who do. It's more along the lines of corporate right wing propaganda intended to sidestep these regulations and lower costs.
Where are you getting your employment statistics from anyway? Links?
The issues with the ADA have revolved around compliance and enforcement, not the law itself. The ADA has had far reaching positive effects on countless people's lives.
That is a radically different interpretation of 'reasonable accommodation' than mine....When you read Court cases where the Court says that an employee who makes $50k a year requires the employer to pay for assistants that cost the employer 2-4 times that amount per year....
What makes you think I do not have any disability and did not have one in 1990 before the ADA became law?
I have more than 1 legally recognizable disability. I did in 1989. I know Title II of the ADA which comes from 28 CFR section 35 because I had to do that research in dealing with the Court system for my own disabilities.
I have seen what happens with employment options when a potential employer gets wind of a disability, the extra expenses involved, and the likely lawsuits to come from hiring someone with disabilities. Employers can always find a legal excuse to not hire or to remove an employee with disabilities to save costs. When you read Court cases where the Court says that an employee who makes $50k a year requires the employer to pay for assistants that cost the employer 2-4 times that amount per year you will understand why employment fell drastically for the disabled.
Here is a link for you.

Employment rate (percent) and change
in employment rate (percentage points)
Men with disabilities (first number) Men without disabilities (second number) with jobs.
Before enactment of ADA (1985-1990) 59.8 95.5
After enactment of ADA (1991-April 1995) 48.9 92.4
Change in employment rate -10.9* -3.1*
Employment effect of ADA -7.8*
Why has ADA harmed its intended beneficiaries? The added cost of employing disabled workers to comply with the accommodation mandate of ADA has made those workers relatively unattractive to firms. Moreover, the threats of prosecution by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and litigation by disabled workers, both of which were to have deterred firms from shedding their disabled workforce, have in fact led firms to avoid hiring some disabled workers in the first place.
Amen to that. All the 'free' government benefits people rave about aren't free - they are being paid for by someone other than the recipient....There's no free lunch....

I am told that if you run for political office that income does not count as income in the USA. Maybe Denmark has a similar rule?I would like to work the little i am allowed to do as a early retired Dane, cuz really what my pension is are not something than make you clap your hands and run smiling to the bank.
But it is so little i am allowed to work before my pension go bye bye, and i have no idea where i could find a job with so few hours every month, and it would also have to be something new as the physical jobs are a no go for me.
Still i keep my eyes and options open, but not quite sure for what, but i do now i would like to have a little more money every month.
I guess in this matter i am lucky to be here in Denmark, and for sure it could be worse.
When did you see my x-rays?I do have to agree that you have a disability.
When did you see my x-rays?
At least I do not have anger issues that cause me to be cruel to others around me.
I agree... However...That is a radically different interpretation of 'reasonable accommodation' than mine.

Searls v. Johns Hopkins Hosp., 158 F. Supp. 3d 427 - Dist. Court, D. Maryland 2016
https://scholar.google.com/scholar_...+lights+billion&hl=en&as_sdt=3,60&as_ylo=1990
JHH then claims that because a nurse's starting salary is about $60,000, and a full-time ASL interpreter would cost $120,000, "n order to fund the $120,000 annual cost, the nursing unit would have needed to lay-off at least two full-time Registered Nurses."
Additionally, even if it is correct that the salary of a full-time ASL interpreter would be twice the salary of a nurse, that in itself does not establish that an ASL interpreter would be an undue hardship.
Because all three experts lack experience with deaf healthcare professionals or deafness in general, they cannot reliably testify about how Searls would have worked with an interpreter to monitor and respond to alarms, and whether she could safely monitor and respond to alarms on Halsted 8 with an interpreter. Additionally, because the court finds that JHH's direct threat defense relies on post-hoc rationalizations without any individualized assessment, the proposed expert testimony about whether a deaf nurse can safely monitor and respond to alarms with the assistance of an interpreter is not relevant. Therefore, the court will grant the plaintiff's motion to strike.
Your talkin him down because he offered no proof the first time. He has and you still havent other than you think you now see more disabled people working than you did 30 years ago.... :/This is the kind of unfortunate mindset and distorted analysis we get from people who don't suffer from a disability or have family members who do. It's more along the lines of corporate right wing propaganda intended to sidestep these regulations and lower costs.
At least in the part of the country where I live we see more and more people with disabilities of all kinds engaged in gainful employment to the benefit of everyone and the reduction in public tax outlays and benefit provisions. Disabled people who would otherwise be on the public dole are instead earning a living, paying taxes and spending their incomes into the economy.
This discussion began with the popular joke about putting braille in drive-up ATMs which is really there so blind people can walk up to and use any ATM. According to your thinking, blind people should be left to struggle because, "Government regulations are not that helpful for most real life situations."

Why is that the only statistic you cite has to do with employment?
The issues with the ADA have revolved around compliance and enforcement, not the law itself. The ADA has had far reaching positive effects on countless people's lives. For example, just ask anyone confined to a wheelchair how they feel about the requirement to provide curb cuts in sidewalks before and after the law was passed? Or access to buildings, elevators, transportation etc., for work, medical care, polling places, entertainment and many other activities that you obviously take for granted.
