    The wisest thing that should be on everyone’s mind currently should be to invest in different streams of income that doesn’t depend on the govt. Especially with the current economic crisis around the world. This is still a good time to invest in Gold, Silver and digital currencies ((BTC,ETH…))

    TED talks used to be about people going over life changing experiences or complex studies

    Now it’s all “this is a problem. we should fix it”

    Free idea: QR codes. Cameras can see many things we can not. What if every web page had a QR code that took you to an audio file that spoke to you? Even people like me that can see, but like to listen more than scan the pages of text would get some use from this. QR codes and a smart camera, spy phones (they are not smart but they can spy!) I even used my phone to scan text and it spoke it all to me. So scanners on phones that can use a camera are already in use. People need to hear this.

    Internet websites or any social media platforms are not government or world leaders itself, they should be stand non-discriminatory ,if website permission decided on the based of skin colour? or disability ,? Or base on gender ?what is the logic behind it ?sad and discriminated act ,.. agreed , It is better to follow a rule in real life than to make it only on piece of paper.

    I would actually put out that a combination of the doors would be best. When his put up the two pictures. I would have said the white doors, as my issue is with sight. I didn’t even realize that the black doors were sliders, due to low contrast.

    So I would suggest the functionality of the black doors, and the white color of the other doors.

      Agreed I would have the same problem identifying which one was automatic. I don’t always need a cane, but the daily roulette of guessing sliders versus manual doors struggle is real.

    Many websites also are fail badly on a computer set in dark mode or extra large default font. It is not hard to have themes to quickly check these
