Canceling electives was simply moronic.
In 90% of the country they could have *waited until the hospitals were actually over run* before canceling electives. But everyone had their finger on the damn panic button over the model projections. It’s insanely ironic to be furloughing healthcare workers in a pandemic.
Business [electives] at my place is starting to pick up—but—the hospital is so strapped for cash they can’t afford to call people like me back. So the poor buggers who didn’t get furloughed or opt to take the furlough are getting slammed.
And here I sit, with the government literally paying me to not work. It’s nothing short of insanity.
And my wife also paid a huge personal cost (so did I) for our idiotic ruinous Middle East military excursion...the kind of colossal mistake that ends nations....my anger at the failure of America is off the charts.
Especially because I have spent my life investigating and talking about some of the major problems.
As Paglia has said "You could see this coming from a mile away".
"I did....I tried to warn you...too few listened".
