    This is what’s so fucked up about being an American. Every time there’s a complaint about the system, some “good soul” comes out to explain how you avoid it.

    Healthcare is expensive? Oh you have to negotiate with your doctors, your hospital, your insurance, and get it fixed.

    Internet is too expensive? Oh you’re supposed to call them every few months to have them lower the prices by threatening to quit.

    Oh, fast food is too expensive? Oh use the mobile app and take a picture of your butthole to get it back to normal!
