Thinking about a conversation I was having with an acquaintance years ago. He was a friend of a friend and we were talking about food. I forget the exact phrasing but I brought up loving avocados. He said “what’s that?” I was a bit surprised and explained. He responded “OH thats crazy I thought that was one of those made up words”. The statement was like a flashbang I had to contemplate for a few minutes. PERSONAL STORIES ONLY, DO NOT INCLUDE A STATEMENT FROM A CELEBRITY OR POLITICIAN.
Talking to a relative about people in his retirement community, he told me “A lot of the people here can’t afford health insurance on their fixed incomes. If something happens to them, they just die.” And, as I was thinking how horrible that was, he switched gears to “Did you hear about how those democrats want to try and mess with healthcare again? I swear they won’t be happy until I’m broke!”
