However, that will ruin us both. We are already on the hook for a previous visit due to chest pains.

Long story short, if they are going to be so into profit, I am just not worth the investment. So, they need to let me go if that is their position. The fact that they would rather me suffer than get off their pile of money for one second shows their complete disregard for their fellow humans as well as their complete loss of humanity in the name of greed.

Yet, we keep voting these leeches into office. I just don't get it. (Well, yes I do. The programming says that we have the ability to be as rich as they are. That is a complete lie, but they have convinced us that it is not. Reality says it is a lie, but we seldom seem to want to live in reality.)

Thanks for the suggestion.
