Irish are like everyone else
[QUOTE=Tiny12;2759254]The Irish are wise like the Swiss. They stay out of other peoples' wars. Both countries also have among the smallest government expenditures and government revenues as a % of GDP, of the developed countries. And among the highest per capita GDP's, adjusted for purchasing power. Maybe part of the reason why they have smaller governments and are more prosperous is because they don't have to spend as much money on defense.[/QUOTE]They are right about terrorism and they know first hand what terrorism is. Anyone else remember the IRA?
Why did Fox and all these Red States lie about this?
I know this is just a rhetorical question that none of the Repubs and Repub Bothsiders here can or will answer any better than their universal No Answer to my question about citing at least one meaningful and now revered legislation ever promoted and passed by Repubs when they controlled the White House, House and Senate. Ever.
But I'll give it a try anyway, just for laughs.
Um. Why would Fox, Idaho, Montana, Texas, Florida and others not mentioned lie so blatantly about those overwhelmed hospitals, staff, rooms, beds, treatments, etc?
Don't they know COVID-19 is no worse than a common cold, that it's no big deal if only fat, old people got somewhat sicker than others from it and so there was no need whatsoever to mandate closures to prevent them from getting infected all at once and needing emergency medical care all at once?
Hell, now everyone knows Biden, Fauci, the NYT, CNN were all lying to us about that as well as, yep, Ttump too (on audio recording) and, have to say it, all those faker Repub patients in the Emergency Rooms just pretending they were sick enough to require hospitalization, overwhelm the hospitals and put most other patient needs way back in line, right?
They were probably just faking it for the attention, right?
Mind you, most of this was even after some mandated closures had "flattened the curve" of cases, mitigated and lessened the crisis of overwhelmed available medical treatment:
