I respond to someone who simply ignores the dozens of deaths at a 'non-private' hospital system, in a thread based on trashing the private hospital system.
These deaths are egregious in several ways: 1) They were purely for the profits of the hospital administrators, who got bonuses based on wait times. 2) The patients were not terminal when they were being initially processed. It was only after being ignored for months, by a 'non-private' hospital, that their problems overcame them. 3) The patients were the people who fought for their country, and sacrificed their good health. Many were from the era of the draft, and were forced to fight whether they wanted to or not. 4) For their service, their own government allowed them to be ignored for others' profits. Even though the current president campaigned on this exact issue, it was forgotten once the election was over.
For the record, it doesn't matter if the hospital if public or private. Incompetence and unprofessional work at all levels should be rooted out. Not buried or exposed simply for political games to support your own agenda.
You do realize, for standard passenger travel, there is a system in place that keeps track of not only where someone starts, but where they travel to. A system that can be and is used to deny entry to persons you don't want in your country.
Or are you under the impression I'm talking about a naval blockade of a continent?
Thanks for the reply. Mainly I asked because of one experience I had about 20 years ago. I had a check from something (forget what) that was for just over $1000. I was depositing it in my bank, but asked if I could have the cash as one $1000 bill, just to hold for a minute. The teller told me they don't give out that bill anymore, it was only for inter-bank funds transfers. This was back around 1990.
But you might have been in a situation where that wasn't the case, so I am not saying you are mistaken.:^)
Most of us are disappointed in him for doing what people like you would want economically, and you go off on him like he's some kind of antitrust act enforcing purveyor of new deal era policies. I really wish that were true. The country was a lot better off without the enormous wealth redistribution from the middle class to the rich and corporate we've had these last few administrations.
Most of that wealth redistribution is completely voluntary. People have been spending their money like crazy, even going into debt for many times their annual income, just to live a certain lifestyle. We are paying the 1%ers interest, just to join our national mass delusion for movies, cable tv, sports games, computers, toys, and other entertainment.
The politicians we elect are just another symptom, not the cause.
I can remember as a child, my dad sending me into the convenience store to prepay so the clerk would activate the fuel pump, and usually going back for just a couple dollars change at the most.
I remember mom or dad pulling up to the pump, and us kids fighting to see who got to pump the gas. (We were around 10 years old.) Whoever won started filling the tank before the rest were even inside the building. When the tank was full, that kid came in and said what the amount was, and then ran to get his or her bottle of soda and candy bar.
As for the kids who went inside, a second fight would sometimes start over who got to pick up our copy of the newspaper. I saw "our copy" because it had our name written on it. The storekeeper seperated about two dozen copies, and wrote a name of his usual customers on each. Only those customers could buy from that stack. Casual customers bought from the other stack, and if they ran out, too bad.
Who says she broke protocol? She denies doing so. Only the people who set the protocol are claiming she was at fault. If they are wrong, the protocol itself is at fault.

Go be butthurt somewhere else.

Have a nice day.
I try and help better next time.
Flamebait??

Considering I replied to a post that snarked we should "seal off Texas", I didn't think I needed to write a thesis paper.

I wonder how much mass the delay actually had.
VA problems are being addressed only after dozens of veterans died.
Why are you defending their actions?
No you idiot.
Seal off Africa.
That worked so well for the Dems who blamed Bush for not forcing FEMA into Louisiana immediately after Katrina hit.
Why not use the same argument against the CDC?
If only there was some way to know where a passenger arriving from London actually started his journey from.
Maybe I'll invent some sort of passenger tracking system that government officials at airports can use as people get off the plane.
Give me $10,000,000, and I'll have something for you by next year.
Oh good. Someone else caught that too. :^)
And imagine playing it while your fingernails bleed.
No, no, no.
Some die by snake bite.
You didn't "see her boobs" though. You say a lot of makeup/prosthesics, or revealing cloth.
Do even know which nurse Zordak is talking about?
Perv.
Of one sort or another. ;-)

I'm saying I know your real name, Batman. ;^)
And if you started you own company, would you be the same asshole your competition is being? Apparently so.

Well, the ½ came out OK. It was just the extraneous letters in front of it that were confusing.
Actually, they bundle most of those and sell them as politicians nowadays.
You saw them in person, like at a high value bank? Or you saw them on tv?
I don't think they have allowed them in the money supply for a lot longer than two decades.
Not accusing you or anything, just asking for clarification.

Good to know. Thanks for the knowledge.
