I’ve finally figured out this logic!! The developer must be a wheelchair user. Most wheelchair users would find that impossible to pass without help.

Unfortunately, in many areas, lawsuits are the main way the ADA is enforced.

That being said… these lawyers are ambulance chasing scum. Their formula is purely for profit, “enforcing” the ADA is only a side benefit.

FTL. It’s a simple fun cheap game. Steam says I’ve played this for over 3,000 hours!

If you are in the US, that’s likely very illegal. Wherever you are, talk to your state, Providence, federal, etc. labor board.

The rules of the 118th Congress state that "in the case of a vacancy in the office of speaker, the next member" named on a list submitted by McCarthy to the clerk of the House in January will become speaker pro tempore until a speaker is elected. A House reading clerk announced immediately after the vote that Rep. Patrick McHenry of North Carolina was the first name on McCarthy's list and therefore was appointed speaker pro tempore.

"Pending such election, the member acting as speaker pro tempore may exercise such authorities of the Office of Speaker as may be necessary and appropriate to that end," the rules state. The requirement of a list appears to have originated with the 108th Congress that convened in January 2003.

After the speaker pro tempore takes over, "presumably, the next order of business would be to choose a speaker," Green said. He pointed out that "it's unlikely the House would continue to operate as usual without a new speaker being selected."

Yes, it's pricy!! 😖

More seating would absolutely help many. It just depends what challenges life has thrown their way.

They demo'ed that it should catch you falling forward, and the seatbelt will hold you. I'm not sure about sideways. Obviously, we haven't tested either as scenario.

It's biggest limitations are hills and off-road. It can go any place a normal unpowered wheelchair can go. My wife has used the Zeen on grass... possible but exhausting!

Check out gozeen.com

My wife recently got one, and had found it liberating. Her condition has caused both balance and stamina issues. We used to bring both a walker and a wheelchair everywhere we went. Her Zeen has made a major improvement in both our lives.
