It is not possible to shoplift a drugstore into bankruptcy. The physics don't work.
Because most of the dollar value in a drugstore, is in the pharmacy.
Some cancer meds cost $8K a month. 10 prescriptions alone is $80,000.
Try and even picture what $80,000 worth of toothpaste looks like.

I'm confused. What exactly is this verbal spat about?
I'll grant the $8K fact. But that means millions of families have next to nothing in the bank. And families with $10-20K "in the bank" often have much greater financial exposure to shocks.
Millions of Americans are one event from bankruptcy.

Canada protects executives, not workers. No severance priority in bankruptcy.
WEPP only covers $8k, and is taxpayer-funded.
The execs paid themselves $3 mil in bonuses before filing for bankruptcy. Totally legal.
Sears, Nortel, Laurentian all did the same shit.

Last year, insurance co.s made $70billion in profit, while 41% of Americans had medical debt & 600K Americans declared bankruptcy from medical debt. But Americans would rather pay $8K/yr in insurance premiums than $2K in taxes for universal healthcare cuz politicians have told us that's "socialism".

Health issues related to Long COVID, even in Canada, and WITH health benefits through work, cost me over $8k out of pocket in 2025.
And I'm so thankful that I have a decent salary so I can sort of cover that, and I won't go into bankruptcy like in the US, but it's almost 10% of my take-home pay. 😭

When I was a bankruptcy lawyer, one of the few pieces of actually helpful, nonpatronizing pieces of financial advice we had for struggling families was to change their withholdings to aim for <$1k combined refunds. People would pay interest on cards all year waiting for their big $8k check.

I don't think medical debt existed in this way before either... partly because there weren't tests that cost 8k that your doctor could easily order. I know so many people who were forced into bankruptcy for medical debt and, then, they tightened that up to prevent that escape route.

well I did buy a Trump shirt once - I believe it was marked down from about $80 to $6 - I thought it should last a while - it came apart in the first washing - the Trump Tower in West Palm Beach started at hundred of thousands per floor and after bankruptcy went for $8k per floor - UNFINISHED🤣

Oh Boy!!! What a great deal!!!
So instead of paying $4K in income taxes
We can pay $8K in an imaginary tax that the Orange Headed Bastard dreams up: maybe a "residency" tax for people who own homes or live in apartments. The SOB has declared bankruptcy 6 times - what does he know about economy?

Retire? Is that when you take off the old one cuz it's gone bald and you have Les Schwab put on a new one?
