[nfb-talk] Losing DVS

[dewey bradley]

Having DVS would make people not want to hire us, It would be special 
treatment, having them would make blind people less independent, just like 
being able to tell what are money would do the same thing.
If It's not makeing life harder, then It's special treatment.
