[@kavatractionmeditationstud2825]

Probably because the UK comes from a parliamentary democracy under a constitutional monarchy where as America is a capitalistic democracy. Americans understand the freedom that comes with capitalism and so Im sure that understanding leaves very little patience for stupidity. MURICA

[@walsh9080]

@@kavatractionmeditationstud2825 Capitalism was invented by British economist Adam Smith. It's not unique to America at all. During the 19th century Britain was so capitalistic, it wouldn't even do anything about massive famines in its colonies because they didn't believe in interfering with the market. Don't assume capitalism is unique to America because it most certainly isn't.

[@marks6663]

this was not a scam, this man was delusional, he does not understand how finance works, how the tour de france works, and maybe not even how pedals work. His pump action pedal is no more efficient than a traditional pedal. Yes it has more leverage, but leverage merely generates the same amount of force over a longer time. So there is no power advantage over a traditional pedal arrangement. You get more go for every pumping cycle, but every pump cycle takes longer. There is a still the up and down motion of the feet.

I mean, the fact that he simply chose to make 20 bikes and then sell them at cost to test the market really isn't that big of a deal. If he, as a random engineer self building these things, can make them for $2,600 and get someone to pay $2,600...then a business expert can very likely find ways to produce them for a lot less and sell them for a lot more. It's just...everything else he's saying that makes him ripe for the looney bin.
