I live in a town of 7500 people. There are at least four businesses that deliver oxygen, scooters, braces, etc. to those who supposedly need them. Stub your toe and you can get a scooter. Ridiculous. Scooter store ads have flooded the tv here for a long time. I have not noticed if they are still on or not.
