Just wait until the company goes bankrupt and stops supporting the hardware
For decades they build functioning prosthesises (seriously, what’s the plural?) and yet nobody gets them? What’s so hard to give one -for instance- to that 16 yo girl down the street? Or vets. No. They get hooks or awkward substitutes. Just the price alone? I cannot believe that.
From what I’ve seen it’s that they just aren’t ready. They don’t actually work that well, they’re fragile, and very expensive. I agree they should still at least give them to more people than they seem to be doing. Some people have to be able to afford them even if they need replaced often.
I think the main issue is that the people who can afford them as they are, upkeep and all, usually aren’t the same people who need them. After all, when’s the last time you saw a fairly well-off person missing a hand?
The American health care extortion racket doesn’t help matters either. Getting the “insurance” companies to pay out for anything is like pulling teeth, and America is, by far, the most widely publicised demographic; so when people there aren’t getting these things when they need them, they lose most of their potential funding because very few people actually know enough about them to care.
Prostheses is the plural
I read that as “fusses” and thought that was a really odd thing to say.
Actual automail.
