    If she can’t even campaign enough to get a ramp at the award ceremony where she won an award for her disability campaign, did she really deserve an award for her campaign at al!?!?!?!?

        or as simple as getting your office to consider using sans-serif fonts and light coloured backgrounds for black text instead of white. It’s something that all of us can help with.

        So many restaurant menus that I can’t read as a result of this decision. No idea who thinks it’s a good idea to have yellow text on a pale yellow background.

        This looks like a really stupid situation though. Going by the picture, since the article wasn’t that detailed, she was able to get into the room but the stage looks portable or fold up.

        • it might have been just as easy to remove the stage
        • looks like a motorized chair although I can’t really tell, which can be heavy and not maneuverable. If so, would it even be safe/practical to get that thing on a tiny, flimsy looking portable stage?
