What exactly do you mean 'blatantly obvious'? Because to me, the issue that is blatantly obvious is that we don't have enough regulations on PE.

Let's say in this scenario you do import an electric wheelchair. You fork out a few thousand dollars on the expensive costs of said purchases. It breaks. No one in America can repair it. Or if they can repair it, you have to go through the PE-owned wheelchair market, whom charge a premium. Your options are fork out the money for repairs, import another wheelchair, or send it abroad for repairs.

Assuming that instead you create a company designed around importing said wheelchairs, PE buys you out and then sells imported wheelchairs at monopolistic prices.
