Rich Bitch Helps the Poor
« on: October 15, 2012, 06:08:47 PM »
So I was thinking...well, I wasn't, but someone was kind of, sort of, in a round about, really messed up way...what would the perfect gift be for that wonderful lefty nutjob in your life be? I think kpete has found it:

$20.00 Cardboard bicycle can change the world, says Israeli inventor

Cardboard bicycle can change the world, says Israeli inventor

Elmish said the business model they had created meant that rebates for using "green" materials would entirely cancel out production costs and this could allow for bicycles to be given away for free in poor countries.
 
..............................

"Because you get a lot of government grants, it brings down the production costs to zero, so the bicycles can be given away for free. We are copying a business model from the high-tech world where software is distributed free because it includes embedded advertising," Elmish explained.
 
"It could be sold for around $20, because (retailers) have to make a profit ... and we think they should not cost any more than that. We will make our money from advertising," he added.
 Elmish said initial production was set to begin in Israel in months on three bicycle models and a wheelchair and they will be available to purchase within a year.
 
"In six months we will have completed planning the first production lines for an urban bike which will be assisted by an electric motor, a youth bike which will be a 2/3 size model for children in Africa, a balance bike for youngsters learning to ride, and a wheelchair that a non-profit organization wants to build with our technology for Africa," he said.

Real great; relying on Govt for a shitty bike that can be destroyed by water, fire or a big wind. Great investment... :whatever: 'Tis the liberal way, I suppose. It's not nice to make wheelchairs either. I equate that to being a practical joke, and when it comes to those, I'm like the old man. I hate them.

By the way, Kpete, how DARE you think something from Israel is a good idea! Palestine are the victims, here! You traitor!

I believe the idea is to coat the cardboard with a very toxic sealent.   This prevents moisture from getting into the product.

Unfortunately the sealent is so toxic that I have no idea how the production workers could be protected.   As far as disposal of unwanted bikes, how to do this, cannot put in land fill, cannot dump in the ocean or even burn the suckers.

Cardboard is an an amazing product, as long as it is kept dry the triple strength boards makes wonderfull insulation, the holes between layers allow air flow, but once wet it can produce mold that is a killer if inhaled.  

These bikes would work great in a very dry country, little to no humidity, say Death Valley.  

Innovation is great, perhaps this may turn out well if a sealent can be found that is non toxic.

It's vesta.

Levin just had an excellent idea! All these liberal ideas need to be tested on liberals to see how they work. Wonder if they'd still be tryin' to push them on us if they had to pay for them first.

Sounds fair to me!

Wouldn't it be great to see them payin' $2 a gallon more for gas and heating fuel to test how it affects the economy?

How 'bout the cost of food, city services, the salary they want to pay our fighting men/women or the annihilation of thousands of their jobs? How 'bout we put a ban on patuli oil like we do cigarettes?

I could go on and on. These people never think they have to pay the price. It's about time we showed them there are consequences to their tyranny.

Yes, the government pays for it with someone else's money.  Somehow, that makes it "free". :whatever:

How do you sell advertising on a bicycle?

I'm not sure the 'Israeli scientist' understands that while almost all roads in Israel are paved, the opposite is true of his target 'Market' countries, and that both the pneumatic tire and the flexible spokes working together are the suspension system of a bicycle that enables it survive being ridden on shitty roads.

Yeah, but the cardboard ones probably won't have that satisfying crunch you'd get out of a metal framed bicycle.  :-)

But they won't cause as much damage to the undercarriage of your car, and it makes it easier to hear the DUmmies cries and screams.

I miss bobolink.  Her put downs of any attempt to help the poor that didn't include a mansion, live in servants, catered dinners, etc. were freaking hilarious.  She and the Buick musta made that last lonely road trip down life's lane.

I dunno, Allo, she just quit coming to the DUmp one day.  Maybe she's found a new place to vent her spleen, maybe she's deceased.  At least she didn't do the tacky "Goodbye cruel DU" speech most seem obligated to indulge in.  OTOH her every post was a "you're a mean, cruel place DU" screed. :p

I think the mere fact this will be made in Israel means the arab world will never be helped by something as simple as this. I'm surprised that DU supports it, seeing it will enrich another Israeli corporation.

Likely DU was blinded by the word "FREE."
