    My bones hurt. I didn’t even know your bones could hurt, but here we are. I crushed a spinal disc in my mid twenties (always lift with your legs, kids). That shit has not stopped hurting for over twenty years. Apparently I can get it fixed with spinal surgery, but insurance won’t cover it, so it would cost as much as a house. Yeah, guess I’ll just deal with never-ending low-level pain with occasional spikes of blinding, utterly debilitating pain for the rest of my life. Can I at least get some opioids for the constant unending pain? No? Cool, thanks. “Best country on Earth.” Yeah. Keep telling yourselves that.
