Apparently you can live with a BiVACOR TAH for around 10 years without replacement due to the Maglev system inside it.
Gosh it feels like cyberpunk 2077 is just a few years away, we just need more corporate built cities.
Yeah umm https://lemmy.ca/post/40524583
That's the same picture.
America is on track I’d say, Musk n Zuck are so horny to do that…
oh yay, a techno dystopia, just wait for the repo men after you miss your heart payment
This is Australia, so the patient would be out of pocket about $2.50 for parking at the hospital.
Canada's the same except we have serious parking mafia and it's c$20.
When my dear friend suffered a Widowmaker heart attack, and they lit up and staffed a theatre on an early holiday Sunday morning for a brace of stents, he didn't have to sell his house to make payments for it... Because it was c$20 for parking and a bit more for some really bad coffee. Costs were borne by all of us and it was pre-paid from taxes.
Dude survived and annoys us with his sarcasm and piss-takes to this day.

I guess that could be the specific dystopia we're aiming for. It's a hell of a race to beat the other dystopias/apocalypses there though. But what else would you expect from a type 13 planet in it's final stage?
