backseat

One wonders what problem the manufacturer thought they were solving. This is a classic example of a high tech solution that is way worse than the non-tech original.

I may regret saying this: I drive a BMW. Shockingly a) I indicate before turning or changing lanes and b) I can park. I have zero patience for those who don’t indicate or don’t park reasonably (regardless of car manufacturer).

My wife is deaf. She gets given batteries for her free hearing aid plus an assessment from the audiology department once a year.

My daughter was born 5 weeks premature. She was in the ante natal care unit for three weeks.

My daughter also had open heart surgery when she was 9 years old. Full medical team at a world-famous teaching hospital, 2 days in the paediatric cardiology intensive care (nurse to patient ratio 1:1, 24/7) and 2 days in the post-op ward (ratio 2:1).

None of this has ever cost us anything.

America needs to fix its health “service”. While you’re at it, fix your gun laws too (children practising hiding from gunmen in schools? Really??). And your legal system. And women’s rights. And police corruption. Once you get those sorted, the rest of the civilised world has a long list of other suggestions.
