“Elysium” is implausible, because it’s based on a medical device manufacturer with no salespeople

Is Elysium not a French Polynesian port?

The movie is political commentary much like Avatard.
It’s what leftists imagine life without obamacare would be like
Oddly, it describes exactly the situation under obamacare.
The “elites” have everything, and the disfavored little people have nothing...

Not only that, but the company is content with selling a device literally everyone would want access to, to a small number of people. Wouldn't they want to sell to everyone?
I have only seen the trailer, but in it a young woman in a bikini goes to the machine to get her skin cancer wiped out in a few seconds. This doesn't seem like a very expensive procedure. It seems like the company has found the secret to radically bring down the price of healthcare. So why not expand who has access to it? Bringing down the price of electricity, cars, air conditioning, etc, to the middle class and poor worked wonders for the economy and the standard of living. Why wouldn't bringing down the price of healthcare also radically expand its use, and work wonders with the standard of living with everyone?
Perhaps the reason that things are so bad in the future is that it is run by idiots with no business sense.

“But the idea that on the entire earth, there wouldnt be even one hospital that had one of these machines, is completely ridiculous.”
And..he thought District 9 and Star Wars was real?

Right. This corporation is not interested in profit? Seriously? Sounds more like a snobbish government or quasi-government organization.

Oddly, it was far more entertaining than the original
Opens the same way though: “Duh!”

Seriously though, companies that avoid 99% of its potential customers is stupid. Only a government or a non-profit could afford to ignore sales.

Exactly, it illustrates obamacare rationing.
Not that the left will even admit that.

Yup!
Hailed in some circles as “really stickin it to them”, it made vacuous points and heavy handed exposition of same.
The parody trailer is a one hundred percent better product.

This movie has apparently decided to win the War on Poverty by to killing off the poor people.
