Unclear Messaging

Member of Biden’s “Covid Task force”, Ezekiel Emanuel, has a cutoff on quality of life:

Wondering if “Dr.” Emanuel has checked the “birth date” section of his boss’s bio…

  1. 70 million Americans apparently are wowed by the ability of their defeated champion to keep the White House virus-free.

    How exciting to see Biden’s list of competent and skilled people with relevant knowledge and expertise. And not one in this list is a child or spouse of a child of the President-elect. Amazing.

    Where are the wedding planners, family members and useless rich donors?

  3. Nice threadjack, Emery.

    For my part, it strikes me that a lot of Democratic governors have already implictly been applying Emmanuel’s logic by keeping COVID patients in nursing homes. They like to talk a big talk in blaming the GOP for the problem, but last I knew, about 80% of deaths in Minnesota were among nursing home residents where Democratic governors had been sending COVID patients. Governor Whitmer of Michigan even vetoed a bill that would have stopped this practice.

    It’s “Logan’s Run”, just at age 75 instead of 30, really.

  4. 👆 So — how’d that businessman president idea go?

    Trump golfs while Americans are infected by 100,000+ a day and die by 1000+ a day.

  6. Trump is a killer! But for his misguided policies of packing old sick people into group homes where the infection can easily spread to kill them, seniors would never die, they’d live forever, costing society more and more for Medicaid and Social Security.

    Thankfully, Biden has a plan to fix this problem – and without Death Panels! No need to evaluate end-of-life care. There will be a hard cut-off at 75, after which old sick people will be packed into group homes to die, saving society money on Medicaid and Social Security.

    Well, they have to. There aren’t enough icebergs to strand them on, because Global Warming, which is also Trump’s fault. Thankfully, Biden has a plan to fix that problem, too . . . .

  7. You joke, JD, but your so-called Biden solution is precisely the one used by Sweden in the very early days of Blue Flu. For the very same reasons – or, rather, if it wasn’t the same reasons what would they have done differently? There were also reports of little if any palliative care.

    Fortunately, for the Swedish government, Swedes are quite sheep-like.

  8. Apparently, when someone who’s already had COVID (and is incapable of spreading it) goes golfing, that causes people to die. I’ll eagerly await Emmanuel’s explanation about how this is, or perhaps Fauci’s. Or perhaps Emery can earn his first Nobel for medicine by explaining how a man who is carrying antibodies to a virus can spread it and kill people.

    One would also figure that anyone who hates President Trump as much as does Emery would be happy that he wasn’t working harder at his day job, but again, who knew?

  9. For the ponzi scheme that is social security and similar entitlements to stay solvent, the money on the input side has to increase and the money on the output side has to decrease. Throw in inflation and the cost growth of funding these liabilities is close to exponential. Throw in the propensity of politicians to borrow from social security to fund today’s bread and circuses for the people, and long-term forecasts for social security get more critical. Take Europe: Europe’s cradle-to-grave entitlements are unsustainable, because the birth rate is exceeded by the death rate in almost every nation in Europe. Imagine how insolvent their programs would be if they devoted as much of their GDP as the U.S. does!

    Dr. Emmanuel’s views are not surprising to critics of perpetually-more-generous programs, because critics know the logical outcome: We can’t simultaneously abort tens of millions of potential taxpayers from today’s generation and expect the numbers to line up when the older generations retire: The birth rate is going the wrong way. So how to do we decrease the money going out? I’m just surprised that Dr. Emmanuel doesn’t propose we do away with retirement altogether and have retirees head straight from their exit iterviews to the Soylent Green food center. Give it time.

  10. He wrote an article for The Atlantic (you know, the rag that published the debunked story about an anonymous source saying Trump called servicemen and veterans “losers”), titled “Why I hope to die at 75.”

    I came up with some responses:

    I hope he dies at 75 as well.
    I hope he dies sooner.
    This can be arranged.
    Why wait?
    Nothing is stopping you from making SURE this event happens to you. Walk the walk, don’t just talk the talk.
