I have a rather depressing and timely story to share on this note. I live in NE Minneapolis which from a voting perspective is basically little Chicago from a voter fraud perspective, and little USSR in terms of voting trends. It's a very, very leftwing town.
My son sadly inherited my low-functioning thyroid so we both take basic thyroid medication to bump up our levels. The local pharmacy where my prescription is located has been absolutely crazy for some reason all week. I've come by Monday through yesterday and every time, there were at least 20 people in line.
This is VERY unusual. Until yesterday, every time I saw the line I just walked out, refusing to spend 90 minutes of precious time. But yesterday I needed to get the meds with the holiday around the corner and my son and I in danger of running out of gas without our meds.
The line was 38 people long when I took my place. It got significantly longer behind me as I waited. I never could figure out why the pharmacy was so busy this week since the rest of the store was mostly empty.
It wasn't until I got to about the 10th place in line that I could finally see what was happening. Most people weren't there for prescriptions. They were there to get their booster before Thanksgiving.
Man, it just depressed the hell out of me to re-read that last paragraph.
