It's a Golden Compass! Woohoo! Supposedly it can go 2 miles on a charge! It's actually scary fast at full speed indoors. If anybody ever popped out in front of you at speed they would be seriously broken. :ehcapt: The internet is awesome to find out what the heavy duty, well built one was.

The US pricing is insane on these! If you call around and ask for a price, they will quote you a price in the range of 5 to 6 grand, and it will take the better part of a year to get one. Then I found out, that is the "Medicare price". When I told them there's no way I'm waiting forever, I want it NOW and I will pay cash, it dropped to $2,400 and it was here in a week. What a scam against taxpayers, that are getting ripped by Medicare wasting so much money.
I had the same experience with Medicare on my parents. When I called Medicare to complain, she told me, why am I worried about it, it is not my money. Typical Government employee. I'll bet they waste billions every year.

Think about it, they get to spend other people’s money, on other people. There is absolutely no incentive to care about the quality of the product/service, nor the price of it. Recipe for a guaranteed cluster F.

I always knew it was a bloated, wasteful system, but I was blown away that it was THAT bad that you charge Medicare over double what it should cost. That's awesome that people that work there don't even care.
