points out:
Once the ADA passed, my stutter makes me a member of a “protected class.” ... I could have accused them of failing to “accommodate the disabled,” as the law requires. Even if I didn’t win, the lawsuit would be expensive. It’s safer for employers to avoid members of “protected classes.” Far-fetched? Look at the stats:
Before the ADA passed, 59% of disabled men had jobs. After it passed, the number fell to 48%. Today, fewer than 30% have jobs. Once again, a law that was supposed to help people did the opposite of what politicians intended.

"I made my reputation
curing that" |
Like any law, the ADA
successfully increased manpower and budget for a bureaucracy. Other consequences matter less unless a public stink is raised.
