Watching 60 Minutes tonight Got me sad and angry, then sad again, then angrier. [View all]
The first story was about Covid Long Haulers. How they have a variety of symptoms, some quite debilitating, all with no clear cause . . . . . except out of control Covid-19. Unsaid in the piece is it did NOT have to be this way. Had Donald Fucking Trump done his job, things may well have been different. And THAT is what pissed me off.
For the sake of those in time zones west of me, I will withhold the story's footnote ending which was quite a shocker.
The next story was about missing school kids. They are missing because they did not show up for school this year, mainly due to the social and financial impacts of Covid-19. The story's focus was on Hillsborough County (Tampa) FL. where they started the year with 7,000 kids missing at the start of school. The social worker now searches full time for the kids. Grandparents, motels, homeless encampments. All kinds of reasons why they weren't in school. At the time of the show, they had found all but 400 of the kids. It didn't have to be this way. Once again, as for the story above, had Donald Fucking Trump done his job, things may well have been different. And THAT is what pissed me off.
We can not be rid of Donald Fucking Trump soon enough.
