DeafDigest - 12 August 2016

DeafDigest Mid-Week edition, August 12, 2016 -- Trump's biggest sin What is Trump's biggest sin? Today, there was a Bloomberg poll on what bothered people about Trump? It said that he once mocked a disabled reporter. When his mocking went viral, Trump denied making fun in the first place! If Trump actually mocked the disabled, will he also mock the deaf? Let voters decide! A picture is at: http://deafdigest.com/picture-for-people-that-mock-the-deaf/   -- funny or not funny An outspoken deaf-rights activist posted an article on the AARP web site. It asked: No Wheelchair Ramp for the Deaf Not sure if the activist was trying to be funny or trying to be sarcastic or just trying to make a point? She mentioned, however, that the deaf lawsuit vs Fedex has been going on for years, years and years with no end result in sight!   -- signing and driving at same time Deaf people often sign while driving. Is it safe? A deaf driver, talking to his deaf passenger, hit a person walking the dog at an intersection in Framingham, MA. The driver admitted he took his eyes off the road while driving. Driving while deaf is not the same as driving while hearing! At any rate, the police gave the deaf driver a written warning. Lets' hope the hearing person will not file a civil lawsuit on basis of negligence while driving!   Latest deaf jobs: http://deafdigest.com/category/jobs/ Barry's collections of past articles (with today's update) -- bad comment about deaf by a deaf man http://deafdigest.com/collections/barrys-collections/ 08/07/16 Blue and Gold editions at: http://deafdigest.com/newsletters/
