First, the elite are absolutely using this against us. Where do you thing the cultural one upsmanship of working overtime comes from. A good shorthand to figure out if it's an ideal pushed by the elite is looking at the tech bros and LinkedIn nuts to see what they preach. If their goal is to mirror the elite, then whatever they choose to do is the curated ideal the elites want of us.
Secondly, in America a cpap machine is very expensive but mechanically its very easy to make one and it makes a huge difference. If you're not mechanically inclined, hit me up and I'll help.
i'm lucky enough to have health insurance and i've learned the hard way not to trust my mechanical abilities, but thanks anyways.
i remember reading about a 3d printed cpap effort and it wouldn't surprise me if i were killed off by something like the fda.
Yeah, a ton of nonsense was produced about how the porous nature of 3d printing made it unreliable and conveniently missed the part where that can be solved by the application of superglue and plastic wrap.
