Yes, but they also need to persuade the selfish or right-wing parts of the government and population that it’s okay to do this.

I think it is a significant thing that many things. I mean almost all I come across. Of accessibility spending really helps everyone. Those curbs that slope down are nice if you have a wagon or a cart or a stroller. The additional audio for lights have likely reduced a few times where people get all absent minded while crossing. There are times when you could use a little private space like changing for an interview that the handicapped stall helps a lot. I 100% want to renovate where I live for handicap compatibility like big flip light switches for many places I have lived.

To be fair, increasing GDP isn’t the same as extracting money out of people. I think the point is that removing barriers to people getting to workplaces allows the workforce to grow and economic activity to grow as a result.

That said, I doubt the numbers. There might be 2.8m disabled people, but they’re not all not working because of the one issue. I suspect many are already working. Some will be home workers like myself and some will get to work by other means. Some won’t be able to work for other reasons.

Not that I’m against more accessibility. I think there are better arguments for it.
