The Morning Rant: Minimalist Edition

Amazing that at long last, after we claw our way out of this self-imposed depression, that we will have to fight once again with the mandarins who live to tell us what to do and what not to do. Government regulation is at the core of so much that prevents American business from innovating and growing and succeeding, but in this case it is quite simply insane.

I have never understood the need for the ADA, as so much of its demands are simply anti-free-markets. Well, to be fair, I do understand that much of it is driven by the plaintiff's bar, who salivate at the often unachievable demands and byzantine requirements of its thousands of pages of dense regulation.

Stores That Reopen Face ADA Compliance Puzzles*

Around much of the country retail stores and small businesses are struggling with how to reopen, or carry on operations online, consistent with public health recommendations on social distancing and protection of customers and workers. And as they do they find their task complicated in many ways by the requirements of the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA) and related state laws.
What's the over/under on the first lawsuit filed because some SJW vegan/fatty/furry/non-binary/soy-eater is offended by some terminally embarrassed coffee joint employee politely asking to take its temperature, or some wheelchair-bound "activist" being forced to wait outside in the rain while his pancakes are cooked?

If there is sufficient unmet demand that it is economically viable to satisfy the minuscule population of these people, then the free market will satisfy that demand. Anything else is anti-competitive and anti-freedom.

*Uh...why does Walter Olson have a video of a Georgian TV news show on his website? They are speaking Georgian!
