My neighbor is flying to #Sweden from #Texas to get some dental work done. The dentist is a relative.

My neighbor is also picking up a new iPhone for them as a thank-you gift (again, they're a relative).

Do the math. Airfare to Sweden plus an iPhone plus the actual cost of the procedure (cash) is less than getting it done in the U.S.

What the frick.
