    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.

I’m just exhausted at this point. Like I can’t believe this country banded together for WW2. Young men begging to sign up, the people at home doing what they needed to do. I can’t believe we got pretty much everyone onboard with the polio vaccine. I can’t believe how United we were after 9/11(until W did W things). These were our grandparents and great grandparents and @Armybrat coming together for the greater good. Now half the fucking country loves the dumbest mother fucker alive, refuses to wear masks or get vaccinated and openly mock a serious fucking pandemic. How the fuck did we get to this point!?!? 

We all thought it was heroic when Batman stopped Ra’s al Ghul and then Bane, when the Avengers reversed the Blip, when the Kingsmen foiled Velentine’s plan, and so on, but we just didn’t recognize tragedy when we saw it. Forests sometimes need a cleansing fire to renew healthy growth, so it goes for humanity. We can’t have nice things without a semi-regular bloodletting.

Usually it’s resource scarcity that compels us to destruction. This time it’s just boredom. That’s why it’s so maddening.

I will take a shot at this. 

The guardrails of truth have been destroyed. In the old days, people were just as stupid as they are today. You could get them to do anything. The difference was being decent and honorable were still values embraced by both political parties. Helping Europe and fighting polio were both decent and honorable things, and the getting the media to “tow the company line” in regards to the general public good was easier to do. In 1949, the FCC implemented the Fairness Doctrine which states licensees must not use their stations “for the private interest, whims or caprices [of licensees], but in a manner which will serve the community generally”. This kept the holders of information in check.
 

They were legally not allowed to say lies or not report on things, like in 1969 when the FCC revoked Lamar Broadcasting's license due to the station's segregationist politics and ongoing censorship of NBC network news coverage of the U.S. civil rights movement. In 1987, under Reagan, the FCC abolished the fairness doctrine. In 1988, Rush Limbaugh was signed to a contract and began drowning the airwaves with conspiracy theories, racism, and hate. In the 90s, Fox News came about and pushes more respectable conservative narratives at first.

But the majority of people didn’t watch Fox News or listen to Rush. John Q Dumbfuck watched football and nascar. The Facebook and Twitter came around in 2006, and the entire world jumped on by 2012. There were no standards of truth. You could share anything. Even Fox was still pretending to be legitimate news then. Now John Q Dumnbfuck, with Facebook and Twitter, had access to information, and access to disinformation. Rush and Alex Jones of the world could spread their message unfettered. But it was mostly fringe, or so we thought until Trump lit the match. He made it okay to be racist. To be misogynistic. To hate immigrants. The President of the United States made it okay to be a vile piece of shit. And all the vile pieces of shit, the racists, misogynists, rapists, conspiracy nutjobs, all came out and let their freak flag fly. Fox News also embraced it, stopped pretending to be news, and pumped out the crazy racism and hate rhetoric. 
 

and the rest of us are just shocked and depressed our countryman are this horrible. We knew it was out there, but we naively believed most people were good and decent, it was only the fringe, and that there were lines that would not be crossed in America. That line and our reality were broken.

This is true.  

And as you pointed out, there were limits to what disinformation could be disseminated via public media, and so most Americans weren't very political.  They just went about their lives and bitched about taxes and communists and whatever.  Take away those legal requirements on the media, and introduce a huge level of inter-connectivity that did not exist, and voila!  2021.

How the hell did 4 cops drown in Denver this year?  There's hardly any water there...

I am guessing one bad hot tub event. 

EAGAN, Minn. -- A day after Kirk Cousins doubled down on his stance regarding the COVID-19 vaccine, a hospital Cousins partners with in his hometown of Holland, Michigan, cut ties with the Minnesota Vikingsquarterback.

 

"As the trusted health care leader along the lakeshore, we are committed to providing accurate, timely health information and guidance based on guidelines from the CDC and medical experts," the statement read.

"While we acknowledge that each person is entitled to their own viewpoints, those who speak on our behalf must support messages that align with the hospital's position on matters of vital importance to individual and community health.

"For this reason, Holland Hospital will discontinue using Kirk Cousins as our spokesperson for now. We are proud of our association with Kirk. He embodies many values we respect and share as part of our work culture.

"However, we must be certain that our communications about COVID vaccination are consistent and unequivocal.

"The clear recommendation from the CDC and leading medical experts is that the COVID vaccine is safe, effective and the best defense against becoming infected with the virus. Evidence also indicates that vaccinated individuals may be less likely to carry and transmit the virus to others including children, family members and friends.

"For these reasons, Holland Hospital has and will continue to strongly recommend the COVID vaccine to those who are eligible to receive it. It is important that Holland Hospital maintain the trusted reputation we have earned for providing consistent, truthful information and evidence-based health care guidance."

I'd be less inclined to defund them if they did.

Man, Keith Hernandez really put on the pounds before getting the 'rona and dying.

He advocated against getting the coronavirus vaccine and was skeptical of Dr. Anthony Fauci, but changed his view after contracting Covid.

 

WRT to which?

Lots of private school teachers are not doctrinaire people-- they might be doing it as a side gig, or until they get certification, or any number of reasons. It seldom pays as much as teaching public school. They have to be overjoyed at getting more little Bucky McFucklechucks that they have to teach, for zero extra income.

The one upside for a non-asshole employed at a private school, is that those places can kick some disruptive kid out toot sweet.

All these mouth breathers finding science, instead of Jesus, on their deathbed is just too perfect.

I noticed something with the conservative talk radio I sometimes let rattle in the background. There was a point, maybe a few months back, where they yanked the personalities who mocked Covid precautions. They were just gone. Then they replaced them with people telling folks to get vaccinated. I wonder if somebody didn't have a talk with a station owner about possible lawsuits.

We are all frustrated. And right now, this shit is being prolonged by a fucking minority in this country who are so fucking stupid to function.

I’ve fucking done everything right, and now because of the, “But my Freedom,” idiots, the one thing I’ve looked forward to since March 2020 is potentially going to be taken from me.

Meanwhile, these assholes got fucking stimulus checks paid with my tax dollars. Fuck them all.

And don’t yell at me because you have kids. You chose that for yourself. Deal with it.

You were whining a little bit about the vacation, but I am sorry for being a cunt.   Paris is a lovely city to get lost in, and the people there are really kind (don't believe the dumbasses who say otherwise).   

The kids I know are handling this in a way that would make Seneca proud.  Wearing a mask, distancing, sanitizing, and missing activities/friends/families are regarded as normal as the sunshine.

No worries.  I am upset.  We all are.  Also, it’s Southern Italy (Naples, Capri, and Ischia) that are in jeopardy.  Which is almost worse than missing Paris because of the sheer beauty of the region.  I had also negotiated that this vacation wouldn’t count against my annual vacation with my new job….so it’s like a signing bonus.  

From Reddit:

"Missouri State Rep Sarah Walsh and husband chose not to vaccinate. Both now have COVID-19. He's on a ventilator. Everyone pray to Jeebus for their stupidity because.. you know... "
