Reality: The Same Idocracy
So, one of my simple metrics that works really well is: Does the Old New Guy’s Action Help Putin? The Old New Guy is about to cut UN funding that helps with controlling diseases that prevent pandemics coming from countries that are so poor that they cannot afford to pay for the treatment. In 2017, the Old New Guy removed the US State Department from the Wuhan Lab in China. Dr. Shi Zhenglia, also known as “The Bat Lady,” ran the lab. The workers from our State Department were trying to get the Wuhan Lab to follow safety protocols to prevent an accident. The lab was searching for either a vaccine or a cure for COVID. COVID had been around for a few years by then. In 2017, the Old New Guy removed the USA team that wanted safety procedures to be done correctly at the Wuhan Lab. The lab was right next door to the pandemic epicenter of the Wuhan open market, where the public was infected with COVID. Too bad the Old New Guy removed our government workers who could have prevented the COVID pandemic. If the lab had followed the procedures, COVID would never have infected people outside the lab.
So, the question nobody seemed to ask was, why did the Old New Guy transfer American State Department people who were trying to make sure the experimental lab that was studying COVID was being safe? Tax break for his economic supporters, you know, rich people.
So, in 2017, US federal employees who work around the world to protect us from all sorts of death, for example, COVID, were fired. It was a death sentence for many Americans so that the Old New Guy could give the rich a tax refund; many Americans had to die. In the Old New Guy’s present term, he is firing federal workers, so his economic supporters get a tax break because zillionaires don’t have enough money. People are dying from measles today, something that has not happened since the 1970s.
The easiest example I can give that might help you is cops. So, if cops do a good job, they prevent raping, robbing, and murdering. Of course, the whiny taxpayers bitch about the damn cops getting paid if there is no crime. In the USA, if you are a cop, the criminals are your friends. So, every year after the cops have successfully kept crime to a minimum, they are lambasted about their overtime pay. Of course, to have the same results, the taxpayers could hire more cops to keep up the level of police protection high without overtime. Well, more cops mean more benefits, so the overtime is actually less than the cost of hiring additional cops. However, if, as Americans, we aren’t complaining about this and that, we are unhappy. We are historically the greatest bitchers and moaners since the Age of Hellenization, the Greek Empire.
So, let me circle back to the USA’s removal of funding and participation in the UN. Following World War I, also known as the “War to End All Wars,” the League of Nations was established. Of course, like today, Americans did not want to be bothered with foreigners, except as workers who were cheaper, worked harder, and bitched less.
The USA chose not to be in the League of Nations, and it failed. The Holocaust would not have happened if the winners of World War I had not been such assholes, which was a main reason for the rise of Hitler. In post-WWI, the USA was not being active in Europe, and humanity paid a heavy price.
After WWII, we developed the United Nations to try to stop another World War. The UN is imperfect because it is run by humans who are all imperfect, including me.
The easy answer to why the Old New Guy wants to destroy the UN is my simple go-to analysis: Does the Old New Guy’s action help Putin? This will be a big win for Putin with us out of the UN.
I apologize to all the people born after me that I did not do something more to prevent this very preventable ending. My best is not good enough to fight evil and convince all the dumb followers of the Old New Guy to learn their history—the failure of President Wilson to get the Senate to go along with his League of Nations idea led to the Holocaust, WWII, Hiroshima, and the destruction of so many innocent lives in way too many Wars!
Of course, to distract all of us, COVID shots are harder to get now, flu shots are harder to get, and finally, Autism is now cured, so the Old New Guy said so. Oh yeah, there was a horrible movie starring Elvis Presesly and Mary TyerMoore called Changing Habits. A young child comes into the clinic. Elvis was a doctor, yeah, he played a doctor. The child was diagnosed by Elvis as having Autism easily because the child did not like being held. Elvis’s character was helped by Mary Tyler Moore, who was a nurse and also a nun. Doctor Elvis proclaimed that the child had autism because the mom did not hug the child enough. So, Elvis and Mary Tyler Moore restrain the child until he is cured! Important note: the diagnosis and treatment in the movie were complete BS.
The causes of AUTISM were a popular misconception in the 50s-70s. Well, when in doubt, always blame the mom! Today, researchers continue to understand autism, and the people who are educated in science still have a long way to go.
What is being peddled by Old New Guy and Kennedy, the lawyer who had a brain-eating worm between his ears and is a Bear Killer, who is our Federal Health Expert, his autism argument has been totally debunked by smart people with advanced degrees in medicine and science. The guy with the brain-eating bug has a law degree, not a science degree. My expertise is in other areas of special education; however, I know more than those two idiots on autism.
Remember the act of the Old New Guy in Wuhan labs killed over a million Americans. An ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure. The Old New Guy killed a million Americans and a million more people from other nations. Measles is now killing Americans. Why did the old new guy get elected? Why did a republican senator who is a certified doctor vote in the science-denying guy to run the Department of Health? These are questions I leave to a higher power.
