Gov Cuomo to USACE: "You built a hospital in a week. You are the best of us."



Andrew Cuomo ✔@NYGovCuomo

The temporary hospital in the Javits Center will fully open on MONDAY.

I congratulate FEMA and the Army Corps of Engineers for their work at Javits. I thank the Javits staff. I thank the National Guard.

You built a hospital in a week.

You are the best of us.

Grossly underpaid for the premiere science and engineering organization for the nation.

They do the shit no one else wants or is willing to do!

Tell your Congressman to quit rat fucking them!

he speaks mostly off the cuff too, from the heart. If I was one of those people that he is talking to, sitting in front of him, I would feel proud.

then gathers competent resources to enact the plan. Instead of denial and whining, pointing fingers, self aggrandizing, undercutting, hoarding, withholding, outbidding, and sowing general chaos for lulz, here's a responsible government leader getting the job done.

What a concept.

He is all about using data, logistics and science to work the problem. He is the leader Trump can never be. There could not be a more stark contrast.
