The military has to use the chain of command. In my opinion, this commanding officer knew he’d be relieved before he spoke out, but felt it was worth it – and apparently the only way to get anything accomplished. He did the right thing by sounding the alarm openly, because I fail to believe he didn’t use the chain of command first. Nevertheless, even though I think it was admitted by the Navy that what he said was correct, they relieved him for “lack of confidence,” a term that has a wide, wide range. I don’t think they took away his rank, but just relieved him of command and transferred him somewhere.
For the rest of his life, he won’t regret it, either, I’m thinking.
My husband and I were talking about this today as well. It’s very disturbing to me. My husband ( a Navy retiree) talked about this ship being out of the line because he made this statement… and thought this might be why he was relieved. Because he took a warship out of its duty .. I don’t know, but it just stinks that this happened to him after doing the right thing.

The difference between life and death.
Governor Cuomo to Maddow:
We have “enough for 6 days….If we are not yet at the apex we will be in a bad place. This is truly frightening,
I’ve handled a lot of disasters, a lot of emergencies as governor and in the Federal Government.
By far and away nothing comes close to this in terms of the need for intelligent, rigorous, muscled government
to respond quickly and smartly. It all comes down to whether your healthcare system can handle it….
There’s no philosophy here. It all comes down to can you handle the number of people walking in the door.
And if you can’t people will die….that’s what this is. And the simplicity is what makes it so tragic.
Because we don’t have a piece of equipment someone is going to die?
Because we don’t have staff someone is going to die?…
How did we get to this place in this country that we have to buy all our supples from China?
I can’t get protective equipment because CHINA is making it. China is making the ventilators?
We couldn’t figure out how to make protective equipment quickly enough?
We couldn’t figure out how to make ventilators?
We can’t figure out this rolling deployment which makes all the sense in the world? And is frankly simpler for every locality? I said we have 20,000 volunteers coming from across the county – I said I will return the favor.
I’ll pack up every ventilator, I’ll bring our entire health team, and I’ll go to any community across the country.
I will drive personally and thank them for their assistance, for what they did for New York
That’s what we do. You know there’s something called mutual aid in an emergency.
In a flood…a power utility will flex…if you will see a large truck on the road…Arizona trucks driving to New York City, New York City trucks driving to Florida.
That’s how we react to those emergencies,
you flex with the need.
And the consequences are going to be devastating.
“What keeps me up at night is not just the numbers, but a deep sense that it didn’t have to be,
it didn’t have to be.”
(https://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow/watch/cuomo-coronavirus-crisis-truly-frightening-didn-t-have-to-be-81576005559)
The Trump administration just changed its language about the Strategic National Stockpile on an HHS website to jibe with Jared Kushner's claim that this isn't for the states.
250k COVID-19 cases in the US 6k dead 100k – 200k projected dead in optimistic scenario Ventilator shortages Strategic National Stockpile near depleted Nurses wearing trash bags because they have no PPE
10 mil ppl joined the unemployment ranks. A global pandemic wreaks havoc on the country. Sen GOP is focused on Hunter Biden while Jared Kushner rides nepotism to be the most unqualified Secretary of all the things. And the media continues to gift Trump w/free primtime coverage.
Rest in power Bill Withers. Your voice, songs, and total expression gave us love, hope, and strength. My soul always has & always will be full of your music. Your humility displayed & depth of your power as you carried us all to a better place. You're still & always will be Bill. pic.twitter.com/mkpcSBfuZv

Thinking about
New Yorkers dying while Governor Cuomo has been begging and pleading for assistance.
By the time the phantom partisan snails in the WH have agreed to a national rolling apex strategy;
BY the time Doom has agreed to put the U.S. military in charge to commandeer factory production and
distribute it evenly;
The death toll in NY will be enormous, and their apex will be over.
And how just in the nick of time, the ignorant de Santises,
and all those red states governors refusing to order their Residents to stay at home….
Will benefit from those thousands of ventilators fkn hard won by Governor Cuomo’s guts, blood, tears, and steel.
After Jared Kushner’s comment about how the Strategic National Stockpile is not supposed to be for states, lots of people pointed to the fact that its own website says it is.
RIP Bill Withers! The day our daughter Kaavia James came into this world-“Lovely Day” was our song of choice for her entry into the world. Thank you Bill Withers for creating a song that will forever be apart of our lives ❤️ 🙏🏾
Trump and his allies do not believe in a strong Federal Government…Trump has spent his presidency dismantling the Executive Branch…and McConnell has spent his time stacking the courts in order keep America from moving forward…
Trump has no empathy for the suffering of America…his greed and the greed of his allies supersedes everything…but Trump’s voters are vested in racism and white supremacy…even as the tidal wave of death and destruction head their way…
This should be our national anthem until further notice. Thank you, Bill Withers, for reminding us who we are and for giving us so much joy. Rest in Power and Peace https://t.co/9x84WdBIrE

Starter for ten:
Who said “We are just a back-up?”
If you can locate Lawrence O’Donnell’s intro last night:
Pls listen to what he said about Trump posing as ‘War time President’ while declaring he’s:
“JUST A BACKUP”.
Ventilator price wars, $25,000 becomes $45,000….what is a life worth in Trump’s horror movie?
Governors carrying the can on their own, bidding against other states, foreign governments, as well as ours.
Shameless Doom is running a tails-you-lose-heads-I-win strategy with our states. An infamously lazy, failed businessman who is on record passing the hours choosing fabric for the hotel drapes…
How many will die to please his agenda?
Thousands dead and he announces Americans “can’t get enough of it” because we’re so crazy excited. (fact)
If we can’t stop giving him one more disaster podium, one more soapbox for idiot tyrants, why not just stand him in the middle of 5th Avenue and let him do it already.
I am blown away by creativity in the face of this pandemic. Look what this group of 3 did? Likely, the video sound won’t start at first. If you adjust the sound with your device, you can hear it. They sound just like the BeeGees! #fuckcovic19pic.twitter.com/wvhDtEYzYE
FEMA told the House Oversight Committee that most of the 100,000 ventilators Doom promised, will not be ready until June “at the earliest”. Does he have any idea what any of this means?
Confirmed cases of COVID-19 have surpassed one million around the world.
‘New York two weeks ago had only 300 cases. New York today has 30, 000. The cities around America with 300 cases should realize the only difference between them and New York is 2 weeks.” (NY ER doctor, Hayes)
…Widely agreed…we must have a cohesive national response….military?
Trump’s dementia & core evil worsened the pandemic
They’ve been racing against time to run him for reelection while hiding his dementia. It will fail. High death # s & a ruined economy will crush his & Rs approval
He will resign w a pardon rather than getting wiped out by Biden
Excellent and sobering. Summers helped save our bacon back in 2009 when he was on PBO’s Council of Economic Advisors.

–Obamacare–
Margo Sanger-Katz on Hayes…options if you lose your healthcare….with Cobra you can go on buying from your employer, same treatment with same doctors (expensive?) On the Obamacare market you may automatically qualify for a special enrollment period with potential subsidies, if your income is low you may qualify for medicaid which varies state by state. Not all states have medicaid expansion.
–In eleven states you can buy through Obamacare exchanges.
-“Because of Obamacare there are more options than in previous economic downturns.”
+ Don Berwick former Administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
BERWICK: “The insurance coverage is weaker and weaker, more out of pocket payments.
And now the Administration is allowing basically junk plans.
They look cheap but they are not going to be cheap for someone who has problems with the coronavirus. So this is a time when really have to take stock as a country. Are we really providing the kind of coverage our people need, not just for a pandemic, but in normal life these catastrophes hang over us all the time.”
“The medicare system will be overwhelmed.”
“So unless the federal government pitches in the way they did for the airlines.”

They just ran a piece on CNN about how they are developing a point system to determine who gets care if they run out of ventilators, with the elderly and those with pre-exisiting conditions deprioritized. Who will ensure such a system doesnt disproportionately refuse care to POC?

#TruthAndReconciliation
racism/white supremacy/white nationalism IS a National Security Issue
Since we’ll all have to wear them when we go out, help out a small business in the process:)

RIP Bill Withers 😔
😔😔😔🙏🏾
I could cry. Words of our lives. Miss you already. Thank you for sharing your greatness with the world
Same same same same same 😔
The difference between life and death.
Governor Cuomo to Maddow:
We have “enough for 6 days….If we are not yet at the apex we will be in a bad place. This is truly frightening,
I’ve handled a lot of disasters, a lot of emergencies as governor and in the Federal Government.
By far and away nothing comes close to this in terms of the need for intelligent, rigorous, muscled government
to respond quickly and smartly. It all comes down to whether your healthcare system can handle it….
There’s no philosophy here. It all comes down to can you handle the number of people walking in the door.
And if you can’t people will die….that’s what this is. And the simplicity is what makes it so tragic.
Because we don’t have a piece of equipment someone is going to die?
Because we don’t have staff someone is going to die?…
How did we get to this place in this country that we have to buy all our supples from China?
I can’t get protective equipment because CHINA is making it. China is making the ventilators?
We couldn’t figure out how to make protective equipment quickly enough?
We couldn’t figure out how to make ventilators?
We can’t figure out this rolling deployment which makes all the sense in the world? And is frankly simpler for every locality? I said we have 20,000 volunteers coming from across the county – I said I will return the favor.
I’ll pack up every ventilator, I’ll bring our entire health team, and I’ll go to any community across the country.
I will drive personally and thank them for their assistance, for what they did for New York
That’s what we do. You know there’s something called mutual aid in an emergency.
In a flood…a power utility will flex…if you will see a large truck on the road…Arizona trucks driving to New York City, New York City trucks driving to Florida.
That’s how we react to those emergencies,
you flex with the need.
And the consequences are going to be devastating.
“What keeps me up at night is not just the numbers, but a deep sense that it didn’t have to be,
it didn’t have to be.”

Gov Cuomo: “NY will have one apex, let’s devise a national strategy that moves with that rolling apex.”
OMG
It is only for jared and little donnie, for when they play choo choo trains, or for crime family revenue.
Thinking about
New Yorkers dying while Governor Cuomo has been begging and pleading for assistance.
By the time the phantom partisan snails in the WH have agreed to a national rolling apex strategy;
BY the time Doom has agreed to put the U.S. military in charge to commandeer factory production and
distribute it evenly;
The death toll in NY will be enormous, and their apex will be over.
And how just in the nick of time, the ignorant de Santises,
and all those red states governors refusing to order their Residents to stay at home….
Will benefit from those thousands of ventilators fkn hard won by Governor Cuomo’s guts, blood, tears, and steel.

Excuse me, but that right there is top level assholery. I know, that’s not even a word, but it seems to fit.
Ahem! 😁

Oh, SWOON.
Trump and his allies do not believe in a strong Federal Government…Trump has spent his presidency dismantling the Executive Branch…and McConnell has spent his time stacking the courts in order keep America from moving forward…
Trump has no empathy for the suffering of America…his greed and the greed of his allies supersedes everything…but Trump’s voters are vested in racism and white supremacy…even as the tidal wave of death and destruction head their way…
May God have mercy on us…
Starter for ten:
Who said “We are just a back-up?”
If you can locate Lawrence O’Donnell’s intro last night:
Pls listen to what he said about Trump posing as ‘War time President’ while declaring he’s:
“JUST A BACKUP”.
Ventilator price wars, $25,000 becomes $45,000….what is a life worth in Trump’s horror movie?
Governors carrying the can on their own, bidding against other states, foreign governments, as well as ours.
Shameless Doom is running a tails-you-lose-heads-I-win strategy with our states. An infamously lazy, failed businessman who is on record passing the hours choosing fabric for the hotel drapes…
How many will die to please his agenda?
Thousands dead and he announces Americans “can’t get enough of it” because we’re so crazy excited. (fact)
If we can’t stop giving him one more disaster podium, one more soapbox for idiot tyrants, why not just stand him in the middle of 5th Avenue and let him do it already.
Here you are sweetness. Excellent show last night

FEMA told the House Oversight Committee that most of the 100,000 ventilators Doom promised, will not be ready until June “at the earliest”. Does he have any idea what any of this means?
Confirmed cases of COVID-19 have surpassed one million around the world.
‘New York two weeks ago had only 300 cases. New York today has 30, 000. The cities around America with 300 cases should realize the only difference between them and New York is 2 weeks.” (NY ER doctor, Hayes)
…Widely agreed…we must have a cohesive national response….military?
Pardon for this criminal? NFW
Mayor de Blasio has asked New Yorker to cover their faces.
should’ve happened nationwide on day one.
but you weren’t allowed to say it aloud because masks…..that can be made at home.
Excellent and sobering. Summers helped save our bacon back in 2009 when he was on PBO’s Council of Economic Advisors.
–Obamacare–
Margo Sanger-Katz on Hayes…options if you lose your healthcare….with Cobra you can go on buying from your employer, same treatment with same doctors (expensive?) On the Obamacare market you may automatically qualify for a special enrollment period with potential subsidies, if your income is low you may qualify for medicaid which varies state by state. Not all states have medicaid expansion.
–In eleven states you can buy through Obamacare exchanges.
-“Because of Obamacare there are more options than in previous economic downturns.”
+ Don Berwick former Administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
BERWICK: “The insurance coverage is weaker and weaker, more out of pocket payments.
And now the Administration is allowing basically junk plans.
They look cheap but they are not going to be cheap for someone who has problems with the coronavirus. So this is a time when really have to take stock as a country. Are we really providing the kind of coverage our people need, not just for a pandemic, but in normal life these catastrophes hang over us all the time.”
“The medicare system will be overwhelmed.”
“So unless the federal government pitches in the way they did for the airlines.”
Oh, dear God.

MOU’s and Policies are changing almost on a daily basis at work.
This is the third day in a row that I’ve come to work and a policy or procedure has changed.
For the better? Worse?
Not necessarily better or worse just more restrictive.
STAY SAFE.
RIP Bill Withers, we @ TOD surely played this tune throughout the years.
