[nfb-talk] Here he comes...

[Ray Foret jr]

Perhaps you might try arguing the case like this.  If you want to put more blind people to work, they need a good education.  A good education means a better chance at a job and less chance they’ll be on welfare.

You see, it helps to tie your argument to something you know they understand.

Still a very happy Comcast XFinity Voice Guidance, Mac, Verizon Wireless iPhone7+ and Apple TV user!
