-- reason Quebec says no to Deaf Uber drivers
We have deaf Uber drivers all over USA, and
even in Canada - except Quebec. Why not? Quebec
says Uber (and taxi drivers) must be able to
communicate fast with passengers, and if
passengers whisper, must catch it fast.
An example is - passenger quickly telling
the driver - "oops, sorry, please make a
quick left turn now." Good reason? No,
because hearing passengers quickly tell
hearing Uber drivers to make quick
left turn now, and the hearing drivers
will still miss it!
-- famous actress forces TV producers to hire interpreter
Some deaf people have famous relatives that are
TV and musical performers. And when these performers
invite the deaf to their shows, they often do not
realize interpreters and captions are needed.
These deaf people accept the invitations and
are stuck, being bored for few hours for that reason.
Well, Yuki Saito, a famous performer in Japan,
had a deaf grandfather. She invited him to come to
watch her perform - and made sure an interpreter
was provided, without being asked by the
grandfather! Performers never think about it, but she did.
