1) see how their examples are almost verbatim what I wrote about? Yeah, that.

Title III is the most important IMHO as to who it effects. Notice that in addition to essential services -- medical, banking, utilities, gov' agencies -- we now see retail not just listed, but in the top slot.

After the US Supreme Court told Dominos to go suck an egg, refusing to hear the case upholding a lower court ruling, it's been affirmed that the ADA applies to ANY business providing services to the pubic.

Which is why Winn-Dixie got shit for not subtitling the adverts on their gas pumps... and won their case because advertisements on a gas pump are not part of getting gas... but agreed even after winning to fix it anyways because that's the right thing to do.

Which is why Winn-Dixie handled it like adults, and Dominos handled it -- and continue to handle it with their broken bloated inaccessible script-tard site that's only gotten WORSE since they lost in court -- like a petulant child screaming "WAH WAH, IS NOT" ... as their so-called web development team continues to rape the company with their ineptitude and lies.

Which is why the Fed really should go after them. The civil case was not enough. Dominos is such a shit show now even normal people have trouble ordering. The endless stream of 500 series errors not helping matters, meaning they've cheaped out refusing to expand their hosting to meet demand.

The one objection I have to the ADA's wording is how often they talk about people with disabilities. They too treat it as able vs. disabled, as if it's some sort of black and white position "enabling" a small minority.

Accessibility first and foremost should be about EVERYONE. Singling out the disabled when it comes to accessibility laws is just a means of pointing at disabled people and acting towards them like the type of jackasses who park in handicap spaces because -- in the vernacular of your typical jacked up pickup truck owner who never hauls anything and the harshest terrain they'd ever cross is leaves on the road in fall -- "why should those cripples get special treatment"
