Our local major teaching hospital has no beds available, not because of covid but because there is no money to give social care to patients well enough to go home, but not able to look after themselves - a different failure of government.
@Debra I think these monuments should be in museums where they can be remembered as part of our history, but not displayed in parks and such as something to honor.
@upton I think the message is that he won't be on display in a place of honor any longer. Kev is just trying to save his ass because if those call logs come out he'll have some 'splaining to do.
@Ur,spo Sadly, yes. I was so hoping we'd be on our way to a better place by now.
@upton: Of course it's a competition. Have you listened to the way right-wingers talk about "owning the libs"? What's interesting is the sheer ancap-ness of it all: You mention collective effort and they'd rather kill everyone.
Same thing that happened after 9/11: No need to look into who was responsible (19 dudes, 15 of them Saudi, part of an organization headed by a Saudi and funded by the Saudi government, but they're "our allies" because of oil; we do not have a mutual defense agreement with Saudi Arabia, by the way). No need to ration things, just...go shopping.
@Bob: Healthcare could be more elegant, but the insurance industry and other members of the parasite class are allowed to exist.
I think the "Voter Suppression" board game is really good!

Love the checkers game. So true! Wonder who the guy is in the second-to-last one -- the cartoonist himself?

ReplyDeleteThanks. It's kina over-the-top, isn't it? But I'll save it and see if I can fit her in.
The last one is not accurate. He remains a part of history... just not a part we are proud of anymore.
ReplyDeleteKevin McCarthy's threats against the phone companies? That's gonna bite him in the azz.
