The Blockbuster glazing going on these days is more egregious in my opinion.

I loved renting movies in general, but no one talking about how great it was was old enough to be an account holder with them.

I work for a very large recognizable company with incredibly deep pockets. We had a guy demo some software that his company developed that my team was interested in purchasing. During the demo he opened a browser window and his bookmark bar from left to right was Fox News, Newsmax, OANN, and Epoch fucking Times. I checked his LinkedIn and it was unhinged and unprofessional.

I think people who are in that bubble think it's as innocuous as posting about the weather.

Ontarian here. Your experience is not universal, but people without family doctors absolutely do struggle quite a bit. I'm fortunate enough to have an excellent doctor. I saw her last month before the holidays and got a referral for a psychiatrist who reached out to me before the new year. My appointment is next week. I've been able to get imaging, blood work, a sleep study, and a biopsy all within reasonable timeframes. All of this has been covered by OHIP.

I can easily see an optometrist or dentist today if I needed to, but I'd be using workplace benefits to cover those costs.

I've seen an uptick in my city of family doctors accepting new patients, but it's still not enough. Not having a doctor is a huge barrier for care and contributes to the overloading of other services (urgent care, emergency rooms).
