Don’t we all think it’s about time that Global Governments stopped the companies who make disability aids from ripping countless people in very real and sometimes dire need off

They charge literally a fortune for nearly everything they sell, and near to heck defraud global folk because of their disability. Example (one out of literal billions) a basic keyboard costing only $7 because it has a metal cover fitted to make a disabled persons finger hit only the one key they decided the added bit of metal meant the keyboard would sell for $158 :eek:

It’s effective extortion of people with a disability as with everything they make and sell

A talking computer in effect, much the same as half a laptop adds another $11,000 plus on the price compared to a lap top :eek:
 
No, I think that PALS should be proactive and stop buying $158 keyboards and learn how to use things like trackballs and headmice along with the appropriate software to do what they need to do.

The reason that devices for the disabled cost so much is that the governments protect the inventors of such devices with outrageously broad patents for too many years and requiring such devices to pass through clinical trials so that they can be reclassified as medical devices.
 
Lets demand also that steak is sold for 10 cents a pound and lobster for 20 cents a pound. Free enterprise is the reason that so many useful things were invented to begin with. No one is demanding that you buy their product.
