"No, no. That's too ham-fisted."
Closing a hospital? During a pandemic? Because it missed rent payments? :this-is-fine:
This truly is peak America, huh?
Imagine being a police officer beating doctors down with a baton while they try to retrive life saving medicines and being able to go home thinking you're the good person.

"Bob quick! That one's getting through! Tackle him, tackle him!"
Meanwhile the dying patients are divided into two groups: One group cheering the doctors and the other cheering the cops because a landlord has to eat too you know.
Wonder what happened to the hospitals drug stores and pharmacy - average hospital has litres of morphine and an abundance of other very pure opioids and other drugs that would have immense street value.
Guess they got lost too.
the maoist uprising against the landlords was the largest and most comprehensive proletarian revolution in history, and led to almost totally-equal redistribution of land among the peasantry

Shit that would genuinely get re-written for being too over the top if you put it into a movie

It's funny but I was dwelling on a similar thought in regards to Jeffrey Epstein: a rich guy with powerful connections who has his own child sex slave island. You couldn't sell that as an antagonist in a novel, it just comes off as way too over the top.
Okay there's no fucking way neolibs stay libs hearing this right? RIGHT?! :doomer:
"The hospital should have worked harder at school and served less avocados in the canteen"
"But also the economy is bad so I hope they bought those avocados anyway and the new iphone; eat out to help out but to heck with you for wasting your money on those things but definitely spend your money on those things"
I don't understand how no one in this process stopped and thought "This is cartoonishly, absurdly evil" and tried to stop it. Surely the order passed through at least a few people before it was inacted? What about the people who kicked out everyone of the hospital? What the FUCK???????????????????????????????????????????????
:doomjak:
stuff like this is beginning to make me think that actual empathy is some exceedingly rare trait
How is there no protocol to just like...keep hospitals forever open regardless of financial situations unless there are literally no patients? Especially during a pandemic that is filling beds to capacity basically everywhere? Especially with 500 patients how the hell are you even going to remove them safely when some of them must be on oxygen/life support/etc? The concept of privately owned hospitals is just so spectacularly dumb

Thats another angle i didn't consider. There was no mechanism to stop this, which seems like such an oversight. I'm just continually shocked at how brazenly cruel people can be.

Sorry sweaty, you should've picked a hospital with a healthier cash flow and better financial statements. Learn to vet the places you are going to receive emergency treatment
That can't be real. No one would be that evil... right?
It really is the dumbest system. Every day I'm thankful not to have been born in that country.
Not that the healthcare systems in Europe are perfect either, but damn is the US far behind.
"A note posted on the door said that the locks for the spaces rented by 1917 Ashland Ventures LLC, the owners on record of the hospital, have been changed and they will only be given keys when $461,302.24 in rent and fees are paid."
Damn, so they're only behind like what, three more surgeries?
we'll see "thoughts and prayers" over a mass grave by the end of this. Hell the memorial in Washington is basically that.
Imagine defending a system that allows (and encourages!) shit like this happens.
