Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Can't I just get care? I got a whole grown ass person's life to live, and i can't be an expert in everything.

Are you rich? Then yes. If you're not rich, then you need to suffer and struggle for needing to use valuable resources that could be used on people more deserving; like the wealthy.

It's not that they're hoarding scarce healthcare resources so they're available for the wealthy. They could provide care for everyone, but then the system wouldn't run at the desired profit level.

i didn't say healthcare resources. money is a resource and you must give it to your betters if you want access to affordable healthcare. they are hoarding one resource by denying access to another.
