Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Dude, literally nobody here is calling for the abolishment of the ADA "and it would be dishonest to pretend otherwise." What they are complaining about is how easy it is to abuse reporting, which hurts both the business serving a market and the people who the ADA is designed to help.
Except that’s precisely what the case is about, everyone commenting here is against this form of enforcement, so yes that’s exactly what’s happening. If a business is non compliant my only remedy is to sue them to make them compliant.
My dude, you keep on walking headfirst into the point:
Yes, that's what the commenters on this story are complaining about, not the concept of the ADA itself.
This right here is what the other posters want to see changed. Don't conflate posters here agreeing with the article's point (that the enforcement mechanism in the ADA is easy to abuse for bad-faith litigants) with people who want to see the ADA gone.
Then change the law. Absent a change in law, what you're advocating for is making the ADA gone.
Holy fucking god, that's the point we've all been making. The ADA should not allow assholes like the ones going before SCOTUS to exist. Once again, you've walked right into the point.
I literally said the exact opposite of this.
That’s not true, in most cases you can let the company know and they’ll correct the issue themselves without court order because they likely didn’t even think of the scenario. My work has had to build/move/change several things over the years as different parts of the business are noticed to not be accessible
The ADA needs government regulators. But it was signed into law by a Republican president, having been "compromised" to be "bipartisan" (had its balls cut off by Republicans).
