Behold, my favorite bit of altered events I've written for Harmony and Team MZ:

[Galarian in bold, Kalosian is regular, parenthesed italicized dialogue is thoughts, *action*, and being in "{}" things mean it's happening at the same time as the thing above it]

(Under a read more for anti-ai scraping purposes)

During the Debt Strategy meeting:

[Jumping into the middle of things]

Urbain; walking in: Hey—uh, why are we having a strategy meeting? I haven't gotten any word from Vinnie...

{Harmony: (Speak of Eternatus!)}

Lida: Urbain! What'd you go and take out a sketchy loan for?! We're gonna have to bust our butts to pay it back!

Harmony: (Don't kill the teenaged boy. That would be: counterproductive~!)

Urbain: Oh, that... Yeah, I did borrow some funds to shoot a Hotel Z promo spot. But it wasn't a ton or anything! Nothing worth getting worked up about.

Lida; arms crossed: Oh, for sure. Just a little 1,000,000 Pokéyen in interest. No worries, right?

Urbain: Naw, c'mon, there's no way. I read all the terms when I borrowed the money. *rotom phones pulls up contract* *checks phone* Guh. Oh man... There's some REALLY fine print about interest. You'd have to zoom in to even find it.

Harmony; having gotten up and stode over to the boy as he talked: It was a loan, ya idjit! They always have interest rates! *slaps him upside the head* That's for making me worry, lad! When we couldn't get ahold of you, I thought they had you held hostage!

Harmony; chiding him like a worried parent or older sister: *hugs him for a moment and lets go* Don't ever ignore our calls again, you hear me! You three are all like little siblings to me. If anything happens to you, I'll will go on a bloody rampage across this city with Floette, understood?

Urbain: Oh. ..I'm sorry for making you worry, Harmony. I won't do it again.

Harmony: Good.

Naveen: Well, that fine print work is awfully sneaky. But if it's there in print, I'm afraid they've got us over a barrel.

*Urbain's phone rings*

Urbain: Hold on—Vinnie's calling.

[End scene]

Insurance is such bullshit, like I know whomever works for the insurance company gets much better than anything their plans offer for 60+ dollars. If you're not in a company or a school that provides you a direct line to the insurance company, you can bet that any deal you get is just a watered down version of what they have access to. The whole thing where if you have too many conditions they don't want to cover you is such fuckery how else would we pay for our treatments? And when you try to find a plan but it seems like they deliberately exclude essential services from one plan or the other just so none of them are right and you're forced to go with their 90 dollar deals so you can get your eyes checked every two years WHILE being able to clean your teeth. Insurance is broken and we should just provide services to the people who need it, end of story.
