I remember reading a news story from the states once about a construction worker that got into an accident that took three of his fingers. When he was in hospital they talked about his treatment and discussed with him how much each finger would cost to reattach. In the end he was only able to afford two out of three fingers.

And if you think these stories are made up or untrue, most Americans are so normalized to all this that it would shock anyone else in the world. There are so many stories like this in the US .....

In the end he was only able to afford two out of three fingers.

I hope one of those was the middle finger.
