It’s a quote, often attributed to either Andrew Jackson or Mark Twain, but most likely originating from neither.
Speaking of dumb:
Without a profit motive, there is no reason to value and implement efficiency
I work for a non profit organization. An enormous amount of effort goes into ensuring efficiency so that we can maximize the success of our mission.
That might be the European definition. In the US, socialism is anything the billionaire class doesn’t like.
He’s also saying that it’s his fault: he was in charge when the election was supposedly stolen. He won when Obama was running things, then again when Biden was. According to him, the election was stolen while he was running the government.

Chimney sweeps, podcasts, cancer, or open eyes?
I went looking for corroboration, but this is the closest I could find.
Repair used to be affordable. It isn’t, now.
Almost every person we’ve hired to fix anything on our house has ended up screwing it up.
My goal now is to keep it holding together until I can retire and then fix it myself.
I’ve found that with time, patience, and a willingness to learn, I can get better results than most “professionals”.
With any luck it will be in good, sellable shape by the time I die, so the kids can get some money from it.
I have also heard it as a stopped clock.
I think it would be if the hospital did nothing and just let someone walk in with a camera and take pictures of a patient. They have a responsibility to control access to information because of HIPAA.
However, if someone does it and the hospital tries and fails to stop it, it wouldn’t be a HIPAA violation.
What we’re talking about is someone going into a patient’s room in which the patient presumably doesn’t want them there. The hospital would definitely have a responsibility to prevent that.
Well, shitty hospitals exist. That doesn’t mean that what they’re doing is right.
In the U.S. the difference is whether or not the hospital has permission from the patient.
If the patient has not given permission for the information to be released, then the hospital isn’t allowed to release it. There’s no gray area there.
I’m not sticking up for special treatment for criminals and traitors. I’m saying that everyone gets to say what information is released about their healthcare. As it should be.
For actual criminals, the police can get a warrant to get information.
And yes, a journalist can try to get information, and the hospital has a responsibility to do everything they can to prevent that.
The question was:
What is stopping him or a democratic senator from going to the hospital with a camera and finding out for themselves.
And my answer was the hospital. Because the hospital has a responsibility to protect the privacy of all their patients.
That’s all fine, but none of that relates to what I was responding to.
I was responding to this:
What is stopping him or a democratic senator from going to the hospital with a camera and finding out for themselves.
HIPAA would definitely require the hospital to prevent a democratic senator from going into the hospital with a camera.
Even if they got to the lobby with the camera, they damn sure shouldn’t be permitted to point the camera at any patient regardless of whether he was a traitorous scumbag senator or just a regular person.
That’s pretty pathetic.
I’d guess it’s primarily the same thing that prevents normal people from changing jobs: losing money, losing healthcare, not being able to pay your mortgage, not being able to take care of your family.
You must have had different HIPAA training than I did.
We were told we couldn’t even acknowledge whether or not a person was a patient without permission from the patient.
Walking around a hospital is one thing. Walking into a patient’s room to confront them is something completely different. A hospital would have a responsibility to prevent that from happening.
“The corporate media system and the political establishment got to act as judge, jury, and executioner,” Platner said in an 11 minute, 15 second campaign video. “We live in a political system that is not built for normal people.”
Ok, I’m disappointed, but seriously? Is he trying to suggest that it’s all a lie, or is he trying to suggest that all normal people have a couple sexual assaults in their background?
Does he think his history counts as “normal people”?
The hospitals you know must be pretty bad.
Where I work you can go to the lobby or the gift shop, but you can’t get into a patient area without permission. The doors won’t open for you.
Same goes for hospitals where I’ve visited family. I have to call in from the panel at the door to get someone from the nurse’s station to let me in.
The reason President Pedophile wants to block alternative energy is to enrich the people selling oil, so synthetic fuel doesn’t solve the critical problem: oil billionaires haven’t been eliminated yet.
