Respect is way too important to me, and I won’t put up with him being rude.” Her son was about a year old at the time. Mine was a few years older. So, I laughed.

It’s no secret that the U.S. medical system is completely fucked up. We seek medical care without knowing how much it will cost; prices are negotiated between hospitals and insurance companies, and we have little to no choice but to pay our premiums, deductibles, and whatever bills might come our way.

One of my favorite breakfasts is the Egg McMuffin from McDonald’s, but not having an automobile means I have to order them from UberEats, and nothing makes me feel like more of a dirtbag than having McDonald’s delivered.
