> [@RuBiCaNT](#): > > This puts the power back into the people. Before, blind people had to take whoever’s word for how much money they had in their hand, now they know and when they get change back from transactions, they will know too. I don’t see what the big deal is. Spending money for this makes 1000000 times more sense than the money spent on Iraq. Very true about putting the power back into the people, but were not really helping the blind by giving them a chance to mishandle their money. Maybe there could be a special debt card given out to blind people that would help them manage their money better. Would be safer as it could keep track of how much they spent and someone might be able to review it for them instead of needing someone there for individual transactions. Just a thought on how to better the spending of money to fix that problem. Justifying one mistake doesn’t justify another. Just because we might be wasting money in Iraq doesn’t mean that its ok to waste it on something else, just because its not as bad. Thats poor logic. You still didn’t answer the question though. Would you use paper money or a debit card if you were blind? > [@BikerFry](#): > > I just don’t like the wording. Something being difficult for a person with a handicap doesn’t mean that the thing is discriminating against that person. Fuck, Thanks to high school soccer and a series of operations I’ve only got about half the articular cartiledge left in my right knee but I don’t feel that businesses with stairs are discriminating against me. It’s a bitch, but not everything in life can be easy. My Grandpa had a stroke and, as with many stroke victims, lost the feeling in his fingers. He could barely handle paper money. Is the whole concept of paper money discriminating against stroke victims? > > The whole concept of personal responsibility seems to be going away in this country. There’s always someone to blame for your problems, right? Right on guy :tup: --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/federal-judge-rules-us-paper-money-unfair-to-blind-people/20796)._
