When I had pets and it was their time... I always paid the equivalent amount of my dog's cremation fee for the staff to share with anyone in need.

    This is a real thing. As urban sprawl increases, (and subsequent deforestation) a phenomenon known as the heat bubble effect occurs. City environments are warmer than surrounding countryside. Cement and buildings absorb more heat from the sun and retain that heat overnight. This also ultimately affect the greater climate, and its significance is never mentioned within the climate change community.

    These sorts of facilities can be enormously useful in managing the distress felt by dementia sufferers. At a certain point in the illness, people get a tendency to go "wandering", trying to complete old routines or habits that are just too dangerous for them to do. If they realise they are in a locked facility they can become extremely upset and also violent. It may seem cruel, but if environmental enrichments can keep these anxieties from flaring up then its best for everyone involved.

    It sickens me that elderly and disabled people can't even afford basic necessities. And before you throw it at me, I know the working class can't either but it's harder for elderly and disabled people to make money, so it just hits differently.

    In most civilized countries before renting you have to obtain a certificate of habitability, maybe register your property, and guarantee minimal hygienic, accessibility and service standards.

    I'm a paramedic. This happens ALL the time. An Uber to the hospital is $30. A basic ride to the hospital in the ambulance with just vital signs and maybe supplemental oxygen? $700+ mileage. A serious ambulance ride with medical interventions? $2,000 + milage. It is absolutely insane. Words fail to express how much I hate private medicine.

    That's mighty bulls*it. Everyplate is the "budget" line of HelloFresh. Just checked, their price is about to 5$ per meal (plus 8.99 shipping per box apparently, it's not clearly stated on the website); according to reviews the quality is mediocre and the servings small. Just buy your groceries, learn some basic cooking techniques and you'll save a lot more.
