I am sorry? You would "prefer" 100 real beds to 1000 cardboard beds when there is a need for 1000 beds? That's nice, the rest 900 people can sleep on the ground

- throw9away6 3y agoYes 100/1000 people on beds is preferable to 1000 that have beds today and no beds tomorrow or the rest of their stay.
- palmer_fox 3y agoDo you think anyone involved in this project ever tested and evaluated this bed? How do you think businesses work in general? They built a bed that lasts only 1 day but decided to go ahead and ship it to disaster areas because why not. Why is it always some dude on an Internet forum that knows better than a business dedicated to solving a particular problem...
- Iulioh 3y agoYeah, i think businesses makes bad decisions for the public interest because the business does care about it's profits and not the public interest , that seems about right.
- throw9away6 3y agoI’m sure they did but in typical sv startup culture they probably did not consider all the design objectives that a product they serves refugee camps needs to meet. Need a bed vs need a bed that can survive a hostile environment are 2 different objectives. Cardboard beds were tried at the Japan onlymics btw and they weren’t great there either
