I'm also against the OSA as it is now because it's an overreaching law effectively designed to control what everyone has access to, rather than it being used to protect kids, as has been claimed!

To be frank, I would rather have people committing small-time fraud than people going un- or under-assisted. We have the money to more than cover for the hilariously minimal amount of fraud in the system, we just don't have the will to use it.
So someone skated by, who fucking cares.

Existing disability services are deeply underfunded, aggressively audited, means-tested constantly, and can be labyrinthine to even access or maintain without assistance. As someone who spent two decades as a cog in that system, concerns about fraud are overblown compared to the real existing need.
Balancing "no person with a disability should be denied accommodations" with "it's important to discourage non-disabled people from pretending to be disabled to take advantage of these accommodations" is really difficult and I don't have a great answer for what anyone should do about it.

Ken Levine’s new game Judas breaks from BioShock with a dynamic narrative, a living generational ship setting, and roguelike elements.
Unlike BioShock’s corridors, Judas offers deeper player agency and a reactive world.
