      they’re okay with it; they okay with all of it, so long as “undesirables” are hurt worse than they are.

      there are a few books that describe this phenomenon; “dying of whiteness” comes to mind.

      Did the majority (600ish, as a guess) of those fired actually vote for their own firing?

      Given VA demographics and hiring practices, there’s a good chance that’s the case.

  • You know what country had universal free health care in the 70s and 80s, a medical city of multiple teaching hospitals which lead it to become the hub of medicine for the entire region and produced globally respected doctors?

    Iraq

    And now the people who destroyed that had their medical pittance cut. Nice.
