Why be offended when you could earn CA$H MONEY instead.

I have no idea. I think its because these guys work with the government. Who knows though.

In your interview, just be sure to mention it so that they know by hiring you, their company will them comply with governmental ADA mandates.

Being left-handed is classified as a disability too.

Some companies are so paranoid about their group health insurance rates going up they would throw that application out. I would "forget" that you have diabetes for a minute. Is that fraud? In a way... Is it any worse than discriminating against race, sex, age or health status though?

What happened with selling cars?

Actually I think its an affirmative action thing.

And its getting really stressful. Too many hours for not enough money. And no guarantees.

The odds of having to have a leg amputated due to being left handed is 0%

The odds of having to have a leg amputated due to the 'BEETUS is greater than 0%.

well for highly structured environments like the call center hell that I endured in my 20s, it means you get accommodations based on it. Like extra breaks for checking your blood sugar or injecting your insulin, etc.
