WTF?

So, Cuomo has a plan to help hospitals "share" their resources, by seizing ventilators from better-equipped upstate hospitals and redistributing them in NYC, where his voters live. He'll even give them back when it's all over, or else give cash for them so that the looted hospitals can buy new ones when they're available.

This is vile beyond words. Patients from upstate, who were fiscally responsible, who funded their hospitals adequately so they'd be ready for something like this, are going to have their resources stripped to help NYC. I see very little difference between this and plain murder. I cannot remember the last time I was this angry about something.

Upstate New York should tell him to shove it. He failed miserably in the response unlike California (I never thought I would say anything good about Newsom).

Newsome has actually done a pretty good job, yeah.

That's the first time I've ever heard someone say that a governor who has singlehandedly killed off his state's entire economy is doing a 'good job'.

Well, in this one thing, at least. I don't think the longterm economic damage is going to be all that bad, especially with the Federal govt pumping out money like there's no tomorrow. I may be wrong.

Not only that but people will be eager to get things back to normal.
