It does for some of the year, but you can pretty much faff the whole winter
through.
And you've got machines to help with the tough stuff.

Actually the Government deliberately allows medical companies to make those
drugs so dear that only the Government, in it's munificence, can afford to
kindly award them to people out of other people's money. Normal people can't
afford them for their parents. If it were not for government intervention in
the medical market place and the one hand and multinationals profiteering,
whether by drugs or insurance on the other, we could have a free market and
people would be able to have affordable medicines for their sick parents.
However, you are not wrong in saying people do too little for their parents.
If any provide not for their own he has denied the faith and is worse than
an infidel, and never has that been more true than today when the extended
family is practised in our midst by Hindues and Moslims, and we are in
unbiblical nuclear set-ups. But would there be any kind of tax break for
those who do? If not, then the government really don't care. All they want
is themselves and their buddies in charge of more and more parts of life.
That's what power does to politicians, that's what it does to the petty
bureaucrat as well.
