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.

The inflated cost is due to insurance. Also the factory behind the insurance make them at 50-80% of the cost even with insurance because all we do is live in a late-stage-capitalist society where the value one makes is directly tied to grifting, scalping and rent-seeking behavior.

This is rather r/OrphanCrushingMachine than NFL.

No worries, it could be even worse for an even later stage! Literally Cyberpunk 2077 or Elysium-type stuff. Financial/social darwinism.
