Read a thing a while back about how a lot of stores swapped to cheap LED tubes to save on the power bill, but the color on the cheap ones makes everything look gray and dead. The produce thing is real too, bad light makes old veggies look less old, so some spots almost count on it. My cousin manages a store and he said the flicker usually means they bought the bargain set and the ballast is going out. The fix is they should be running lights closer to daylight color, but that costs more, so here we are squinting at lettuce. Next time just use your phone flashlight on the produce, sounds dumb but it works.

Doubts that the 2019 rules are really the main thing here, because wait times jump around for all kinds of reasons like panel availability and how many docs are even taking new patients in your area. Maybe it's just me but a single report from one region does not prove much, since 45 days back then could have been luck on your end, not the norm everyone else got. Bumping from 45 to 90 sounds bad on paper but if half those cases were settled or denied before a QME was even needed, the number does not mean what it looks like.
