Trump - Part 2
(I had formatting problems that I couldn't clear - hence, Part 2)
He and Musk are threatening Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. Even some of the Republican talking heads on Fox News are reacting badly to the stock market (and their stocks, I'm sure) heading downward into possible recession territory.
I am trying not to watch the news but it's like seeing stacked dominos falling down one by one. He is putting tariffs on Mexico and Canada, talking about making Canada the 51st state, and acquiring Greenland (somehow) along with Panama. Meanwhile, he and Musk are laying off people in the government right and left. You want to look away, but you can only ignore it for so long.
On another nicer note, UTMC employees on the MVH/MCOT/MVH FB group were saying very nice things about Bob yesterday. He had been at the hospital for 30 years and had gotten to know many people in many different departments. He is missed by a large group of people.
I volunteered yesterday for the first time in a month. K______ wanted me to do something in Excel with formulas but I just don't remember enough about how to do that, and politely told her that I didn't feel comfortable updating their worksheet. It was a complex worksheet where the dietitians enter what they do daily as far as how they spend their time, and on what, in increments of 15 minutes. I am glad we never had to do anything like that in the lab. It would have been a nightmare to have to fill out on a daily basis.
Time will tell how things go in Washington, DC. Since the pandemic, the world has gotten more conservative, but the rabid reactions going on in our capital now defy explanation. It has the appearance of isolationism but is so much more than that. DT seems to be in payback mode for every person or entity that has slighted him over the course of the last twenty years. It is almost like Caligula has taken over as President.
