66. It's impossible for me to feel sympathy for that CEO.

Fri Dec 6, 2024, 12:26 PM

Dec 6

I’m not saying the healthcare system I live under is perfect. Wait times can be atrocious up here. 8 months for an MRI unless you can pay for private? Fucking horrible. Over a year for a therapist? Fucking horrible.

However… I have never had to stress about bringing my kids to an ER or to the doctor and worried about how I would pay for it. Maybe how would pay for their prescriptions but that’s different.

I can’t feel sympathy for a man who is making $10 million a year while being the CEO for a company that was denying people life-saving treatments. My bucket of fucks is dry.
