      ‘Sicko’ showed footage of hospitals dumping sick, disabled, disoriented people on the street and l leaving them to wander because they couldn’t afford healthcare. That was nearly 20 years ago. 🤷‍♂️

      This happened to me as a kid flying alone in the 90s. I had a real short layover and was supposed to be escorted to my connecting flight by United staff who never showed up, and my arriving flight was a few minutes late, so when I got to my next gate, I sat and waited for a little while only to wind up asking the gate agent when my flight was arriving. They told me it had already left.

      I think they quickly realized they’d fucked up because I was rebooked on a new flight in minutes and was given a shit ton of credits to use at airport restaurants while I waited.
