Or perhaps you are the one failing for propaganda and anticipating consequences that aren't there. Nobody is going to target the mail boy with Down's. Just like getting rid of the 72 gender stupidity doesn't mean sex changes stop being legally valid and people who *actually* are trans can officially and legally become of the female gender (not sex obviously).

Notably, in an organization like the FAA there used to be places for "mail boys with Down's syndrome"

Due to automation, a lot less of those jobs exist that actually can be usefully done by people with those disabilities. Secondly, part of DEI has been a demand for salary equality. The "mail boy" is a job that was worth a lot less salary than your actual key employees. Demanding equality in salaries messes everything up by forcing hiring to hire unqualified people to jobs they can't do to meet diversity targets.

I'll just say one more thing -- the main problem has never been the tiny percentage of economic "inefficiency" (bottom line numbers) that employing people with disabilities implies.

The problem has proliferated and become unsustainable with the "disability inflation" that we've experienced these past couple of decades in which "being disabled" has become a fashion and politicians and bureaucrats have created an industry around it.

This shit needs to stop, and be reverted. These people are stealing from those who really need it.
