In reply to the discussion: Tennessee doctor got his GOP rep to overrule CDC & repatriate infected cruise ship passengers. [View all]Warpy
(110,900 posts)23. This gang of rich dumb fucks just didn't think about anything
but some kind of PR stunt, "bring 'em home!" and all that. Oddly enough, I agree that they should have been repatriated, but only after protocols to protect people rich men don't consider like van drivers and clerks were in place.
The problem is that you and I and everyone else who works for a living is invisible and expendable to this gang of idiotic bidnessmen. They will never consider anyone's well being but their own.
Let's hope this put paid to the fantasy that government should be run like a business.

So why are they doing this? I still think the GOP wants hysteria to thwart the upcoming election.
