L-America cares fuckall about this, so it winds up facing a lot of what engineers call a solution-caused problem. Fixing one thing makes something else go wrong, and sometimes that is bigger than the original issue. Avoiding this type of issue requires thinking broadly and creatively, across multiple disciplines, which most modern Americans are trained not to do. Hence the prevalence.

That would be ideal. In fact, in Terramagne, people routinely staff planning committees and disability consulation boards as diversely as possible to maximize spotting problems in a proposal before it goes into effect. A diverse group including generalists and specialists, multiple races and genders, different socioeconomic backgrounds, etc. can usually come up with ideas that will work for as many people as possible with minimal drawbacks. And they typically do that by creating flexibility so individuals can accommodate their own needs without having to make a spectacle of it. You see that occasionally here, but it is far from the norm.
