How long before all federally mandated disability and access rules are changed

In public buildings and airports etc.?

Obviously anything that benefits average people and cost a corporation even just one dollar will be eliminated as soon as possible, this could be the entire American with disabilities act even though they can’t do it legally they don’t care they do it anyway.

They’re taking everything, and all of this because of a certain attitude in 2016, I could scream 😡

about ADA compliance (and been a scofflaw whenever he could get away with it, complaining that [whatever] is ugly).

They will destroy the ADA as much as they can, just to appease Cantaloupe Caligula's deranged aesthetic preferences. Shitting on a marginalized group or benefiting corporations, which is usually their driving motivation, is just a bonus when it comes to the ADA.

I loathe people who voted for this sick motherfucker.

Incident or news article? Or just a general feeling? Sorry, there are so many news stories and the posts move so quickly that I feel like I get only a portion and I am not always sure if someone is just posting random thoughts or something related to a specific action taken.

In general, I certainly get what you are saying. I have found that most businesses just are doing the bare minimum that they can get away with when it comes to ADA stuff and I don’t think very many actually consult with real people with real disabilities. It can be very frustrating.

And I’m about 99% over the last eight years.

How I am capable of being so accurate is I simply predict that they will do the worst possible thing a human being can do in absolutely every situation and I am right 99 out of 100 times.

You don't need to change anything to ignore enforcement. We're seeing that all over the spectrum from Trump.

Replace the word badges with laws. But as the other person just pointed out correctly, while they figure out how to destroy the law or change it they will just simply refuse to enforce it. And any state county municipality airport anything that does enforce it will be told stop or you will lose all your funding.

One exception has stood out: A legal resistance led by a patchwork coalition of lawyers, public-interest groups, Democratic state attorneys general, and unions has frustrated Trump’s ambitions. Hundreds of attorneys and plaintiffs have stood up to him, feeding a steady assembly line of setbacks and judicial reprimands for a president who has systematically sought to break down limits on his own power. Of the 384 cases filed through August 28 against the Trump administration, 130 have led to orders blocking at least part of the president’s efforts, and 148 cases await a ruling, according to a review by Just Security. Dozens of those rulings are the final word, with no appeal by the government, and others have been stayed on appeal, including by the Supreme Court.

These protections are not enforced.

And I hope you are right, but I believe they will ignore the laws and the judges and the courts on just about everything very soon, they’ve already done it on some things.

enforced by individuals or by entities whose constituents are harmed.

The plan that emerged was not focused on centralizing a response, but on running a barrage of coordinated efforts. Attorneys general would represent states, advocacy groups such as Public Citizen and the ACLU would focus on their areas of expertise, and the unions would gather stories from their members and identify plaintiffs who could show harm. Atop this infrastructure, new organizations took shape, bringing in tens of millions of dollars to pay for it all.

Although it isn't expressly stated in the article, I have direct knowledge of the primary action they discussed - and serving people with disabilities was at the core of the concerns of the party which agreed to be a plaintiff.
