The Gates Foundation paid for my town’s shiny new rural hospital, bringing in multiple MRI machines, a PET scanner, etc to make it one of the most advanced hospitals in the region.

But the hospital can’t afford to staff radiologists, so the machines are useless. Last year they sat around hemming and hawing for several hours while my husband was laying there with symptoms of a stroke, trying to decide whether it would be faster (let’s be real, the debate was cheaper) to call in a radiologist or transport him to another hospital (they ended up picking the latter).

Probably not; it’s not a very good article. Their fact check for “RFK Jr. said antidepressants cause mass shootings” was “He didn’t exactly say that, just heavily implied it.”

You’re right, I was mislead by other information. My bad.

Good thing we stopped doing it in Panama where the bottleneck could be kept at only a couple kilometers of land and for a fraction of the cost.

I invite you to come shop at my Walmart :) We were one of the first stores in the country to get those little electronic price tags, so you can’t say with any certainty what the price of anything is, anymore.

If the vegetables haven’t already gone bad on the shelves, they will within a day at your place, and make sure to check the expiration date on every single package you pick up, because they’re often past gone. Also, don’t trust the frozen foods, they defrost in the trucks and on open pallets in the middle of the aisles.

My kids say “tomorrow after that day” instead of the day after tomorrow; my oldest came up with it as a toddler and it just stuck.
