Had to look it up and bruh it’s an awesome machine - at least the one I found. It can go up to 8km/hr and comes with the remote control so your big brother can launch you off the stoop.
Years ago now there was a young boy in Florida that couldn't afford a prothstetic because the cost. Some students from The University of Central Florida heard about it and got with mechanical engineering students there and made a 3D printable prosthetic for the boy, with cheap printable growth designs for future years.
It ended up spawning a non-profit tied to the University called Limbitless solutions. They now design free prosthetic designs for hospitals around the country to ensure affordable access for families that need them. Not sure what their quality is like, nor availability.. but truly a good story
Brian Thomson, in his dying breath: lol you fool... I have life insurance too! If you strike me down, I shall become more wealthy than you can possibly imagine.

Do they actually even make electric wheelchairs for 2 year olds? Wouldn't they out grow it after dinner?

All the more reason to have them, the wear is minimum so many children can make use

That's the kind of shit I'm talking about. Manifest this behavior into reality and things are going to start changing awful damn quick.

Mangioni is being charged as a terrorist. Life insurance typically has a clause that it doesn't cover acts of war or terrorism.
Thompson's life insurance should have been withheld.

These clauses don't apply to the rich.

The smell of burning human flesh and shrieking, giddy laughter is just the system working as intended

Goodness no! From the massive circle of frolicking people surrounding the building, not from the building itself. That would just be silly!
