There are some that make that argument...that all should be equal...that's how communism/socialism came about...

but the whole point of anything anti-discriminatory is to give everybody the same chance....not to guarantee the same outcome...

Until recently, I worked as a volunteer with blind people reading newspapers over a sub-carrier of a radio station. They are much more capable than many believe as well as being quite independent.
Good....but I never said they were completely incapable....only that a product of our govt puts them at a disadvantage.

I didn't marginalize their disadvantage, but I'm not going to quantify the changing of wallets, changers, money readers, and ATM not to mention the changing of the entire money printing practices that then impact the entire population for a comparatively small population when there are alternatives that put the onus onto them.
We change currency all of the time...big deal if the next change involves something like raised numbers.
