Nice. :facepalm:
Man, the laws they talk about in that article are perfectly inline with Ayn Rand's theories of profit and the value of human endeavor (pay as little as possible for as much as possible).

Wish I could find it online, but I recently saw an interview with Governor from the NE US. They have a specific program that tries to pair employers with appropriate workers with disabilities. For instance, they have found that people with autism/asberger's are great at hardware and software testing due to the precise but repetitive tasks involved.

I have very little faith that my kids with disabilities well ever find meaningful employment. I sincerely hope that I am wrong but our society just doesn't value them or what actual ABILITIES they have.
