[nfb-talk] Proposal to Decrease Unemployment Among the Blind

[John G. Heim]

In my opinion, it's not really relevant that Eddy's idea won't solve all of 
the problems faced by blind people. Nothing is going to do that. People 
keeps saying "The real problm is this or that". Yeah, maybe. But so what? 
The only true way to judge Eddy's idea is on whether it will help and if 
it's worth the money and effort.

I also think it's irrelevant that purchasing adaptive equipment should be 
the responsibility of DVR agencies. Yeah, maybe. But we're still looking at 
a 70% unemployment rate. Again, the only thing I'd consider important about 
this aspect is if it could be shown that DVR agencies will be less likely to 
do their part if the NFB does it for them.
