For the past couple years I’ve been working for a nonprofit called Makegood designing and 3D Printing adaptive devices. Last week we released the 3D TMT. It’s the first fully 3-D printed wheelchair and we made it available free and open source. https://t.co/vCTzgnKy7G
We wanted to make a fully 3D printed version to make these easier for anyone to assemble and make anywhere in the world where you could send and power a consumer 3D printer
For children under the age of four, commercial wheelchairs don’t exist. The original TMT was developed to fill that need and has been used all over the world. It was made out of plywood and used metal hardware.
Blue Cross had refused to pay thousands of claims for the center’s patients, but on several occasions execs at the insurance company had signed special one-time deals with the center to pay for their wives’ cancer treatment.

the thing about defunding everything in order to spend the money on the executive’s private secret police (ICE/CBP) is that we know how it ends. all police states eventually collapse under the weight of the exorbitantly expensive and productivity-crushing surveillance apparatus
@dfossier@JasonCarpentier This is what happened to me last time Jindal closed a bunch of hospitals. So tell me again about the support systems you’re making up in your head.
@dfossier@JasonCarpentier Get fucked dude. You’re literally ignoring reality and making mean spirited assumptions about people that need healthcare and then turning it around to make yourself feel better about cutting healthcare.
Yes, this is a point I've been making and the overdraft thing is a perfect example. If you had $12 in your account and you bought a $5 coffee and then put $20 of gas in your car, what banks would do is flip the transactions and debit the $20 first, then hit the $5 coffee, and boom, you get 2 overdraft fees instead of just one. They would stretch that out over days!
Get rid of the CFPB and that stuff will come right back.
@Big_Orrin All of it? What I’m saying is, you can pour over the details of what tariffs do to oil industry and economics and analyze it endlessly, but the deciding factors for oil “policy” are domestic politics.
