Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !askusa@discuss.online
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

20k is one medium home remodel (one deck, Hall bath, or painting the outside), half the price of my sisters powerchair, or paying down half remaining on my car
There is no reason for a powered wheelchair to cost as much as an expensive car
There's no GOOD reason an MRI should cost $1500 either.
edit: i realize you probably weren't judging, my bad for the attack dog
i mean.. there is when she is completely non ambulatory, needs a specialized back to support her upright, requires tilt relieve pressure point throughout the day, and has large tires so she can go outside in the dirt without getting whiplash from the bumps. A privilege, sure, but I think its well deserved
without specializations it could probably run at 12k, and insurance wont pick up anything above basic
For that money I'd expect to be stomping around town in a fucking mechsuit.
