The Disastrous Response To COVID By Delaware Nursing Homes. Genesis and Manor Care (Manor Care being Yrene Waldron’s previous employer) are still among the worst offenders, some 20 years after Delaware enacted strong nursing home reforms. John, are you still satisfied with the performance of your Division Director? If so, you’re still willing to accept deaths in Delaware nursing facilities. Hey, I guess Yrene’s a ‘team player’. Amirite, John?
Supreme Court Approves Florida Voter Suppression. The same Supreme Court that gutted the Voting Rights Act b/c the states allegedly were no longer suppressing the vote.
75,600 New Coronavirus Cases In US Yesterday. Almost 1000 deaths as well. On the same day that Georgia’s governor went to court to bar Atlanta’s mayor from enforcing a mandatory mask requirement. I think the Republican Party is not only killing people all over the country, the Party is killing the Republican Party. My kind of political death wish.
Feds Going To War With Peaceful Protesters In Portland. My daughter has been engaged in peaceful protests there for weeks now. Just look at what Trump and his thugs are doing.
Another Trump COVID Denier Learns Truth The Hard Way. Ex-game show host/shill Chuck Woolery. We had one at work yesterday. We’ll probably have another one today. About one a day seems to be our quota of idiots.
Trump Ban Causes Shortage Of Doctors To Treat Virus. It no longer matters whether this is incompetence or malevolence. It just is.
A proclamation issued by President Donald Trump on June 22, barring the entry of most immigrants on work visas, came right as hospitals were expecting a new class of medical residents. Hundreds of young doctors were unable to start their residencies on time.
Trump’s order included the H1-B visa for highly skilled workers, which is used by some practicing doctors abroad who get U.S. residency slots. The proclamation stated that doctors “involved with the provision of medical care to individuals who have contracted COVID-19 and are currently hospitalized” should be exempt from the ban, but it delegated the issuing of guidance to the departments of State and Homeland Security. That guidance has been slow and inconsistent.
Mike Pompeo Is One Sick Puppy. He has ‘sought to redefine the US approach to human rights by giving preference to private property and religious freedom as the foremost “unalienable rights” laid down by America’s Founding Fathers’.
Giant US Corporations Don’t Let Impending Bankruptcies Get In The Way Of Doling Out Huge Bonuses To Executives. Sick, sick, sick:
Under a 2005 bankruptcy law, companies are banned, with few exceptions, from paying executives retention bonuses while in bankruptcy. But the firms seized on a loophole by granting payouts before filing.
Delaware Rethugs To Hold In-Person Convention Saturday. I know, it makes no sense. Bonini won’t be there. In other words, it’ll be just like his lack of attendance at Joint Sunset Committee meetings. Except he won’t get mileage this time.
What do you want to talk about?
