He should have known to pay for the non-urine soaked seat upgrade. Obviously another air travel greenhorn. :rolleyes:

There is something wrong with the facts in the article. He was going from Des Moines to St. Louis? That is only a one hour flight. Why would you upgrade your seat for one hour?
And it said he had to sit in the urine for 3 hours??? Sitting on the tarmac maybe? He could have driven the distance in 5 hours.

And on the other hand, he was lucky he wasn't downgraded to a poop-somothered seat :confused::eek:

We have a VA hospital here in Salem on the west side of town. A fair amount of acres. They have a wooded park like area for the patients. About 10-15 yrs ago.......they found a bunch of shallow graves.....of previous patients. It was a big scandal down here.

My helpmate takes her son there every couple of weeks for a lithium adjustment. I used to look for more bodies there. One never knows.

From your link, "The Insane Asylum was completed in 1855 to move the mentally ill from chains in jails to better living conditions, though life in the institution remained harsh."

Things have really progressed since then. (sarcasm) Now they do the opposite, instead of mental hospital to jail, and will probably get worse. With the proposed Trumpcare - "Worse things happen after 2020, too, especially if you have a mental illness or substance abuse problem and use Medicaid to get your treatment. Beginning in 2020, the proposed GOP plan would eliminate the current requirement that Medicaid cover basic mental-health and addiction services in states that expanded it." https://psychcentral.com/blog/archives/2017/03/09/how-trumpcare-will-affect-mental-health/
