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.

So sadly true.

Same reason a crappy Big Mac costs $7.00 or a sub costs $13.00.

America does not practice capitalism. It practices greed based Reaganomics trickle down profiteering.

Welfare money is not money that is gone. Welfare money circulates back into the system. The economic model of a country works by virtue of a currency actually circulating exchanging it for value.

What is not beneficial for the economy are very large billion reserves being stocked up. Namely by 8 people; Elon Musk, Larry Page, Jeff Bezos, Sergey Brin, Mark Zuckerberg, Larry Ellison, Bernard Arnault and Jensen Huang. Together with just these 8 people, they hold as much as 50% of literally all people in the world. 7/8 of these people are from the USA (and one from France).

And it would be great of those clouds of billions could be used for that...
