Every fall at various colleges around the country a particular ritual is repeated. An incoming freshman girl gets invited to a sorority party. In the exhilaration of being on her own for the first time, she gets blotto drunk and passes out mostly naked in some guys bed. Her “friends” never bothered to look after her and some 20 year old guy has intercourse/rape with her while she is passed out. Whoa! How’d THAT happen?
Holland America Cruise Lines has a boatload of coronavirus passengers that no one wants and of course Florida ends up taking. They would have launched around March 22, well aware that we are in the middle of a pandemic. So they take passengers from around the globe, put them in a confined space, and seem genuinely surprised when people get sick. What did they think was going to be the outcome of their cruise?
It reminds me of those pictures you see every year around the time of the spring rains. Rescuers heroically saving a stranded motorist on top their car surrounded by raging waters. An unfortunate soul who had been at a point of safety when dastardly flood waters rushed in and swept him away? No. An idiot who imagined himself piloting a U-Boat who thought his Toyota sedan could make it through 4 feet of flood water and purposely drove into it. Risking not only their life but those of the first responders. Whoa! How’d THAT happen?
Today it came out Mark Cuban, Tucker Carlson and the President all asked the same question of 3M, “Where the hell are all the masks?” (masks being rather essential in a pandemic) Turns out they’ve been selling them to other countries. There are only 2 machines in the US that make them. 1 at UNC and 1 in Pennsylvania I believe. Neither are operating at this time as I understand. How that’s possible I don’t know. As Governor Cuomo pointed out, “How’d that same mask from a year ago go from .85 cents to $7 a mask?” Whoa! How’d THAT happen?
