Is it time to rename this thread "Hillary Clinton Will Never Negligently Kill 100,000"?  Or do we need to wait for a final covid-19 body count?

I'd just like to point out that neither myself nor any of my fellow nurses, fellow advanced nurse practitioners, and other healthcare providers ever swore an oath that we would lay down our lives for

Welp, it finally happened. I snapped in public today. I went into work for a bit this morning because I’m trying to figure out the safest way to host physicians we are recruiting given our CV-19 sit

I don't really know what to say anymore tbh. What happened last night is hard to put into words for anyone who hasn't worked in a hospital healthcare setting. Just unreal. Everyone is getting fucked.

Today I learned this is a thing. 
 

Moreno has been charged with one count of train wrecking, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office. The charge carries a maximum penalty of 20 years in federal prison

There's a candidate for these charges currently residing at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue in DC. Who should I contact regarding his apprehension?

Almost nobody is carrying these pressers anymore.  None of the networks carry them live.  And CNN is now only doing the parts where Fauci or Blix is on.

Nice Freud there.

Well, implicit in the phrase "I can't point to a single one" is a recognition that I simply may be ignorant. But hosts of American companies have tried to "do Lean," and they figure out some basics like batch sizes, queuing theory, etc., but never get far enough for it to really take, because they cannot reshape their culture and the mindset of their workforce (from top to bottom).

I just meant that it's odd to me to see Lean show up in a political discussion. For me, Lean is a subject I've been studying as a complete amateur for a few years, and I've never observed it come up in any political discussion. At any rate, I am aware of a fairly substantial undertaking starting in the 90s to bring Lean management to our private health industry, but I've been reading some of Jim Womack's literature on their efforts to improve many industries, including health care... and he seems to paint a rather grim portrayal of actual real world success here in the States (and elsewhere). One of my favorite quotes of his goes something like this: "everyone knows the words to the new song, but few can carry the tune."

I've got a strong appreciation for the subject, I suppose my impulse was sparked from a feeling of, "hey, don't throw a baby out with the bathwater." Lean principles would help this country quite a bit. But the circumstances that allowed it to emerge at Toyota in the 50s would be considered toxic (and downright "socialistic") here.

Yes. modern inventory control and supply chain management techniques are the product of evil capitalism.  🙄

In my experience, supply chains are suboptimized at the expense of things like manufacturing efficiency.  But wall street understands simple metrics like days in inventory I guess.

Don't get your hopes up; Mike has disappeared and I don't know if he's interested anymore.

I hope the average American idiot is able to focus on the this:  Trump says he didn't know and "nobody could have predicted."  

Whether or not you're expecting a big nasty disease to come out of nowhere, you should at least be worried that China or Russia or ISIS is going to hatch some kind of plot against the US.  They are literally doing it all the time.  All the time.

I really don't give a shit about anything that the right has to say about China. They were fine with their cheap labor. Still are. They are trying to deflect blame from their colossal fuck ups. Starting with getting rid on the people responsible for coordinating the fight against pandemics. They didn't even see fit to keep monitors over there. Fuck them. We're looking at 200k+ dead bodies. If that's even an accurate estimate. I don't know. Maybe. I suppose we're going to find out. 

All I know is that we were ill-prepared and ill-equipped for this scenario. Compound that with however many weeks of golf and rallies and denials from the Commander in Chief and we're going to be be looking at a lot of dead people and a lot of out of work people and who knows how many people it harms.

1200 dollars isn't going to mean shit. A drop in the bucket to what it takes to live in a metro area. we are going to have to find a way to keep people afloat or shit is going to go bad.

Not sure if this was already posted. Again just follow the money on the ridiculous reasoning from this clown. Money means more than health of the congregation. Truly shocking.

have we talked about grand republican asshole and all around shitbag "doctor" steven hotze, his waterboy jared woodfill, and these 3 dudes who need to pass the plate around otherwise they're out of business can't minister to their flock yet?

Quote

The emergency petition for a writ of mandamus, filed by anti-LGBTQ Republican activist Steven Hotze and pastors Juan Bustamante, George Garcia and David Valdez, contends Hidalgo’s order undercuts the First Amendment by limiting religious and worship services to video or teleconference calls. Pastors also may minister to congregants individually.

Hotze and the pastors argue the order also “severely infringes” on Second Amendment rights by closing gun stores. The order does not define gun shops as essential businesses, though Attorney General Ken Paxton issued an opinion Friday that stay-at-home orders cannot force gun stores to close or otherwise restrict sales or transfers.

I guess I could go root around for the comments somewhere like r/TheDonald, TexAgs, or Tiger Droppings but I'll take their word for it. 

From The Hill article 

But that style has led to intense criticism and backlash among corners of the conservative internet and some of Trump's supporters. Fauci went viral last month when he put his hand over his face when the president referred to the State Department as the "deep State Department."

Right-wing outlets have posited that Fauci may be trying to undermine the president. Conservative provocateurs such as Bill Mitchell and Tom Fitton have been among those tweeting criticism of Fauci.

IT IS THE FAULT OF THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT FOR NOT BEING PREPARED TO DEFEND THE AMERICAN PEOPLE FROM THIS SHIT.  

China sucks but just imagine how vulnerable we are to a real biological weapon that behaves in a similar way as COVID-19?  Like, we should totally have our bases covered on that regardless of Chinese government efforts in misleading or covering-up.  It is on US to defend ourselves and this episode has been a total fucking fail. 

I’m afraid that if this had been a nuclear attack, that we’d all be dead.  Seriously.

Ah, the old Republican playbook.  Fuck up the government.  And then say "government's fucked up; why would you trust it to do anything?".

Does anyone on here trust the government right now? 

You just saw corporations get a massive tax cut, spend it to buy back stock, and now need to be bailed out. Does anyone here trust the private sector right now? 

Trump is horrible so all government must be horrible!  Good grief.. Fuck off back to farmersonly.com you stupid hayseed cunt.

I would trust some governments.
I mean, not one led by a corrupt sociopathic narcissist.  But definitely some governments.

DeSantis might be the only one that handles this worse than Trump when it’s all said and done. 

Just enjoyed this sequence. Love the “you can’t trust government” move after what they did to government.
It’s like them putting a blind psychopathic drunk behind the wheel and then said “see, you can’t trust another person to drive your car!”
