This makes me think: there HAVE TO be open-source, affordable, easy to manufacture designs of mobility items, with either off-the-shelf parts or with salvaged materials. Anyone encountered anything like that?
because one of those is always gonna come out on top
Yeah exactly, I’m all for DIY, but for medical equipment that is critical to care, there should be a big factory making them with strict quality standards and regulations, ideally owned by the state with an unionized workforce (if we’re still talking about capitalism at this point). Both costs and quality are much better at this point.
