Americans Are Going Bankrupt from Getting Sick

I sliced a banana peel of skin off my finger on glass by accident. 3 hours of various stages of waiting rooms after triage and I had been x-rayed and sewn up and sent home.

Cost me $8 in parking a $2 in Tim Hortons coffee.

I felt an immense level of pride in the taxes I pay (43% income tax before deductions) when it clicked that anyone who walked in would have gotten this same service.

3 hour of wait time is bearable but i'm really sorry that you had to spend $2 on that shitty Timmies coffee.

I'll be honest, it was actually a hot chocolate and I love their hot chocolate when it's scalding hot. I sip it really slowly in a weird "aeration" move that mixes with air.

It reminds me warmly of 6am hockey practices when I was a kid.

Indeed, served unbearably hot so you don't notice the taste. Give me dunks any day over that.
