Apr 2019

at a Mall in Ohio. Kid I was working with was the president of the local college Young Republicans. We got in a discussion about Canadian Health care. He went on and on with the Fox news version of how terrible it was and how they didn't like it and they were all coming to the US for health care.

A little later a nicely dressed man came in and we were talking to him. He wanted us to come look at the car he had in a trailer in the parking lot. It was a beautiful 30s Packard with a 100% restore. Very expensive.
I asked where he was from and he said Canada. So, I asked about health care and if he liked their system. He said he love theirs. So, I asked if would rather have our system and he said "Hell no".

The kid quite talking to me after that.
