The biggest paradox about conservatives is how the most financially secure consider themselves to be the least financially secure when it comes time to pass the hat.

We have:
āFreeā roads
āFreeā military defense
āFreeā public schools
āFreeā police
Of course, none of these are free; we pay by taxes for them. The trouble is, this republican POS represents only the 0.1%, who donāt want to pay taxes even for roads, defense, or schools.
And of course, we could feed everyone in the world if the economic systems werenāt so fucked up and financial engineered.

An interesting thought, that utilitarianism is seen as immoral by a large group of people.
Iāll have to think this over some more, because it seems, from my perspective, that some form of utilitarianism is the only possible basis for a self-consistent system of ethics.

Saw this comment today:
Americans are facing the realization that 1/3 of the country would
be ok if the government killed another 1/3 while the last 1/3 of people
sat by watching.

I also realize that many people in say, the 2020s/2030s might be echoing that same refrain from the 1940s.
Deportations?
I was only following orders.
Separation of families?
I was only following orders.
Killing unarmed black people?
I was only following orders.
Tear-gassing mothers and children?
I was only following orders.

Again? Wasnāt it just a few weeks ago that another black female MD was questioned repeatedly by flight attendants AS she was helping the patient?

Yes, second instanceā¦which is exactly why Stanford laminated a wallet-sized laminated copy of her medical license. And it was still viewed with skepticism.

This was a few weeks ago. The date on the article is November 2nd.
A similar thing happened to Dr. Tamika Cross two years ago in 2016. This is no doubt widespread.

Yes, youāre rightā¦and what I meant. I was having an asthma attack and a little preoccupied and oxygen deprived to be clear enough. Stanford stated she had her license because of the Cross incident, which I perceived to be the first.

It was the first.
This is the second of the two incidents in the article.
The article itself is about a month old.

Geez. At this point, all flight attendants should be shown her picture and informed that if they do anything to interfere with her attempts to provide emergency medical care on a flight, that they will be fired.
