Yeah seriously. Drop this garbage in the same file with all those stories about communities who came together to cover someone's insane medical bills or outrageous legal defense.
Are you being sarcastic? Or are you saying that not having local access to a particular brand of doughnuts is the same hardship and moral travesty as having to pay a crippling medical bill?
what? The parent wasn't claiming equivalency of the severity of the issue - instead the brokenness of a society that resorts to this flavor of solution or response.
So what is this file that contains complaints both about doughnut preferences, and also sickness and financial ruin? Must be a pretty broad file.
The file is "heartwarming stories celebrating Americans solving uniquely American problems."
He's saying these feel good stories only exist because of terrible situations to begin with. The company C&Ded him but after public backlash changed that heart. The hospital gave a patient an $800k medical bill after the insurance company refused to put her baby on the insurance but they magically could after publicity. The ability to get publicity and bad press should not be the arbiter of fair treatment, fair treatment should be the norm not the outlier.
