3. Police have been getting military surplus equipment ever since Bush invaded Iraq

you know, to keep terrorists and minorities in line with blank checks funded by the super-necessary war on fear.

Meanwhile America's exceptionally brilliant super genius health care executives found efficiencies by sourcing supplies from the lowest bidders in China. With predictable results when China decided to stop selling it to us.

Priorities need to be updated. Biden gets it because he always says budget shows what we value. If we value something, we ought to allocate resources to it.

The people who will never forget to go full racist on brown Americans because of the 3,000 dead on 9/11 have already forgotten the 250,000 dead Americans from incompetent COVID response.

14. Yes spending for militarized police is much more

than providing PPE to medical people. SHAME!

15. It should be noted that police are tax funded

while health care is private or tax funded. So police got wasteful spending while private companies and tax funded health care providers were finding brilliant ways to cut costs.

8. A Family member, ICU nurse...

A Family member, ICU nurse, was given a yellow rain slicker to be worn backwards. They had to find their own masks.

7. The hospital where my daughter works are still only getting 1 N95 mask per 12 hour shift

They wear the same mask all during their shift. A couple of the nurses bought material and made caps for all the nurses in the
COVID unit so they could keep their hair covered and wash them at night so they will be clean for the next shift. They ran out of the disposable ones weeks ago. But according to trump they are stealing caps, gowns and masks and selling them.

10. Absolutely unforgivable.

trump's failure to establish anything close to an adequate response to the virus should never be forgotten, nor forgiven. Impeachment actions have been based on far less. And yet here trump is, doing his best to dick over the Biden election. As if he hasn't caused enough misery and suffering in this country already. Do we need to take to the streets again?

11. I worry a lot,

two of my five grandchildren are doctors and one is a nurse. All three work in hospitals.
