Hi what do you do for work?
Well, I work for a healthcare company that creates electric wheelchairs and apps to use them.
Wow that is amazing, that sounds so rewarding! What specifically do you do?
Thanks! I designed the pricing structure so that each aspect of the wheelchair experience is gated behind carefully designed paywalls that are significant enough to help ~~me~~ my boss get a good bonus at the end of the year but not significant enough that all those poor people out there can’t afford it if they have too. Ideally the cost is always a bit more than people can afford to pay since usually people have more you can squeeze out of their social connections if the need is desperate enough (we are optimizing right now for pricing structures that most encourage customers to make gofundme’s to engage with our products which is cool to be part of a new project).
………….
This is America 🇺🇸
Don't catch you slippin' now
Yeah, if you fall and break a hip and need a wheelchair this guy is gonna gouge you for it
