52. Hunger Games. Trump's DEI EO. Braille in Trump Tower.

Mar 22

The central plot of Hunger Games is that Burdock Everdeen dies. No one in the family is producing so that society has no use for them so they can just die (and almost do).

His EO directly mentions DEIA - Accessibility

Donald Trump Ordered Illegal Removal of Braille Because 'No Blind People are Going to Live in Trump Tower': Report
https://www.newsweek.com/donald-trump-braille-blind-people-1118601

The alleged interaction was recounted by Barbara Res, who led construction at the Trump Organization, in an opinion piece in the New York Daily News on Wednesday.

"What's this?" Trump, noticing the small raised dots, reportedly asked the architect who went to his office to show what the residential elevator interiors would look like.

"Braille," the architect responded.

Trump apparently demanded that the architect take the feature out.

"We can't," the architect replied. "It's the law."

"Get rid of the [expletive] braille. No blind people are going to live in Trump Tower," Trump shouted, according to Res. "Just do it."
