Tim recounts buying melting ice cream intended for ER workers, then predicts "health privilege" will become the next identity-politics battleground, mocking the idea of competing over who has the most comorbidities.
- Tim went to Manhattan Beach Creamery to find vegan and keto ice cream flavors for nurses and doctors in the ER.
- The ice cream melted in 90-degree heat, so Tim had to eat it himself despite buying it for the heroes.
- Tim senses something bad happening with the way people scowl at those without masks and young-looking healthy people.
- Tim claims he looks 17 at 35 and presents as healthy, drawing scowls from people who see him as flaunting health privilege.
- Health privilege is the next form of discrimination coming after white privilege and male privilege.
- Tim predicts that soon only people with serious illnesses will be allowed to speak, and having tumors will become the new Nanette-style performance art.
- The future of identity politics will involve people on stage discussing their multiple tumors and comorbidities.
