The good news here is not just that the IRS will debut a “prototype system to allow Americans to file tax returns digitally and free of charge” in a pilot test next year—it’s that the IRS was smart enough to get help from the U.S. Digital Service instead of rounding up the usual government-contracting suspects. And this is probably at least one of those suspects, Booze Allen Hamilton, is finally trying to hire a senior web accessibility specialist.
I’m so glad we have an administration and a president who actually gives a shit about accessibility, and plan to do everything in my power to keep the Republicans from regaining the presidency since they continue to demonstrate that they couldn’t care less about web or any other kind of accessibility, and continue to fuck up everything they touch with regard to technology.
