The "developed country problem" thread

[FourAceDeal]

Had a strange dream that I lived in a country that didn't have universal free healthcare.  Woke up not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

  Are you American?  Cause I don't know whether to envy you or what. 

If I was American I would have woke up angry.

When are they going to reduce these??

I have to click on that website every day. Don't they know my great pain and suffering?

Thank you.

Websites like that have been carefully designed around other people's misery. Be strong.

  Microwave dinners enable me to have a delicious meal ready in minutes ... but then I have to
   wash the plastic trays before recycling.  It's a high price to pay for the food I'm entitled to.

Speaking of microwave dinners, I had teriyaki chicken tonight - the packet said to heat it for 6 minutes. I put it in for 4 and it was still too hot to eat when I got it out. The microwave is just too efficient.

  Does the microwave even come with a warning label?  I'll bet it doesn't.

Because we now have water meters, I make a point of not recycling dirty plastic or metal dishes, because I have to pay for it. Fuck that.

And they call microwaves "convenient".

  It's as if they make it impossible to be an environmentalist mowadays.

  I also don't like the beeping sound it makes when my food is done.

I want to buy a TV series but it is not available on Blu-ray. Why do they do this to me?

A microwave is what I do when in my carriage riding among the masses.

  Is it at least available on DVD?  I don't have a Blu-ray player, so I must settle for DVDs.
