also the feeling of winning a politically based argument with my dad is soooo fucking good
#talking about bitchass sunak and how he's proposed a £5-10 fee for if u wanna go to the doctors
#and i am EXTREMELY against that shit
#the nhs is free for a fucking reason. nobody should have to drop a single PENNY to be able to live
#anyway i said that (without the swears) and he started to tell me why actually it would “reduce nhs strain!!” cuz apparently ppl just go to
#the hospital to “get out of the cold”
#and then i said but dad you see how that's entirely another problem. to solve that problem you fix the cold ???????
#(ie. drop heating bills. like come ON it doesn't take a 200IQ to figure that out)
#at this point he walks outta the room and closes the door. reopens the door upon me yelling that he was avoiding saying im right
#then he comes back and tells me (very patronisingly) that coming out of the cold means just coming into hospital with unnecessary problems
#to which i said well i have not heard of anyone doing that (we are indian and won't go to the doctor unless like. we are fucking dying)
#and he says you'll be surprised... and i was like ok. i bet its just ppl who are lonely. which again !! another problem entirely !!
#and i said well putting the fee in place won't actually stop that. ppl who are lonely will keep being lonely
#and maybe we'll see an increase in elderly suicides. or more reports of houses that people just stop coming out of
#or MAYBE we'll start hearing reports of ppl who die of entirely treatable diseases and illnesses cuz they couldn't afford to go
#or were in the middle of choosing between food for their kids and heating one (1) room and decided fuck it this recurring stomach ache
#might just be menopause or whatever the fuck. i goes to my dad people play down symptoms all the TIME
#and it starts from youth !!! from school !! we are told if u have a headache or a stomach ache just come in ^_^ its better than missing !!
#like wtf. what kind of shit system is that. it feels horrible to come to school when people are very clearly ill
#you deserve to be resting not suffering through a whole day in pain & not able to breathe & honestly u don't learn shit on those days
#didn't tell my dad that. but. he responds by saying there's ppl whove said that stuff like milk bread eggs should be free. and i said yea
#and bathroom products. by which i mean toilet paper and pads and tampons
#and he was clearly expecting me to disagree with this because he said um ok. well yeah ! exactly
#mans changed his tone SO fast once he figured out he was not winning this. it felt so good
#i love being a semi adult in this household where despite always being treated like one not actually having the opinions to feel like one
#anyway thats my storytime. moral of the story is basic necessities should be free. full stop
