I can't even begin to imagine how visually impaired people feel living in places like Irving. Their complete loss of self-sufficiency probably negatively affects their other capacities. That makes me sad. And angry. It's like throwing away a large group of people, instead of helping them being productive, thriving and giving members of society.
