Don't forget that hospitals in desperate need of PPE had shipments hijacked and stolen by the feds, given to corrupts pop-up resellers run by cronies and auctioned off back to the hospitals that originally bought them.

Having a memory and attention span longer than 2 weeks is fucking exhuasting

    I, like Pepperidge Farm, also remember. That was such a massive shit show, I have no idea how the Administration Responsible for PPE Hijacking managed to get a second installment of the show going. That really should have been the end of them all.

    Thats because the people who voted for him the second time either don't know, or don't care.

    I worked in a rural hospital in a blue state throughout the entire pandemic and do not remember this. Can someone add sources bc I'm not seeing much when I Google it. The hospital I worked for had serious problems with misappropriation of funds from government funding but we did have PPE.

    I mean I guess you're welcome lol... I hate that I remember like every single fucking thing this shitheel has done. It can eat away at you, watching nothing happen to these evil ghouls.

    Only tangentially related, but... I decided at the start of 2025 to hit the little star to save a post on Lemmy every time I see something awful and illegal being done by Trump administration. Get a little running list going, maybe I could even use it to convince my parents to stop being fascists (nope).

    Or I dunno if I thought maybe I'd come back years later and revisit, or compile into a goddamn coffee table book or something ("Remember this shit? One Harrowing Article a Day for a Year"? I dunno).

    Turns out there were just way too many.

    It's unwieldy, and the Lemmy "saved article" page, bless its heart, was not built for parsing or navigating in any real way. Now I've got thousands (tens of thousands?) of saved articles and I wish I had enough programming knowhow to scrape them from my account into a CSV and categorize them or something...

    Anyway, I don't know why I'm even saying all of this other than to say that I remembered these ones without having to look at my saved articles.
