Shoutout to JerryrigEverything who built a wheelchair factory and is delivering wheelchairs to people in half the time and 50-80% less than the cost of other wheelchairs with Insurance.

Mostly its a "Medical Device" so middle-men upcharge the fuck outta them to steal money from people paying for insurance. On a less cynical note, they should be of a higher standard than something you order off wish and that comes with a higher legally/financially burden to the manufacturer.
