Why doesn't this surprise me? This sounds more and more like slavery, regardless of whether the disability is physical, mental or developmental.

And to further rub salt into the wounds, Rock Center has the gall to follow that story with an interview, by Chelsea Clinton, no less, of fashion designer Stella McCartney, the daughter of former Beatle Sir Paul McCartney.

It's terrible that organizations are allowed to exploit people like this.

It's not isolated to the mentions in those articles either. People love to play disabled workers below minimum wage.

It's nice to have a job, but no one can eat fulfillment or being a part of something.

The piece interviewed ASAN, as discussed in the discussion in "activism".
