Oncological Illogical
Some coworkers and I are chatting at work.
Friend Coworker: “Did you see that [Health Insurance] contributions went up again?”
Me: “Yeah. It happens so often now, I don’t even care anymore.”
Other Coworker: “Healthcare. The biggest con in America. It’s designed to keep you sick, you know.”
Friend Coworker: “What do you mean?”
Other Coworker: “Did you know they already cured cancer? But only the rich can afford it. It’s designed to keep the poor people dying off.”
Me: “Let me guess, you heard that in one of your podcasts?”
Other Coworker: “You can mock it, but the truth will never be repeated in mainstream media.”
Me: “Okay, so which cancers?”
Other Coworker: “Huh?”
Me: “Cancer has been cured, has it? Okay, so which cancers?”
Other Coworker: “Just… cancer. All of it.”
Me: “All two hundred types of cancers have been cured?”
Other Coworker: “…yeah.”
Me: “Wow, that’s a lot of cover-ups. And how rich do you have to be to get the cure?”
Other Coworker: “Millionaire rich.”
Friend Coworker: “So Steve Jobs wasn’t rich enough?”
Other Coworker: “Huh?”
Friend Coworker: “I remember reading he had a net worth of eight billion before he died, so if he couldn’t afford it… well…”
Me: “So you gotta have… what… nine billion for the cure, I guess?”
Other Coworker: *Walking away, not appreciating being bombarded with facts.* “It’s true! You just need to open your eyes!
It’ll be a new conspiracy tomorrow with that coworker.
