Re: Is Trump doing a good job?
Do you mean like last month when AOC tweeted that people should boycott Goya foods because their CEO praised Trump? Is that the kind of power to wreck havoc and risk jobs with a tweet that you mean? I am going to assume that a large percentage of Goya's employees do not agree with their CEO. Should they have all been punished by AOC's boycott call?Cortopassi wrote: ↑Thu Aug 20, 2020 1:16 pmTrump posted the tweet. For the world. He did not know all the facts, or chose to ignore them, or not wait for them to come out.

Shekels, Inc has 100 facilities. One facility had a manager who was pissed at all that's going on and threw up this slide in a training to purposely cause a shitstorm, and get the president to react, which he does.
Now, Shekels, Inc. suffers a 50% drop in sales not because of a local idiot manager/employee putting up an ill advised slide, but because the president tweeted Skekels, Inc. sucks and you should buy your widget elsewhere...
Does that change (I know it won't) your mind about the power of the presidential tweet and the stupidity of tweeting before all facts are known about something?
So who did not know all the facts, before posting the tweet and perpetuating the tweet?
I guess if you feel so strongly buy some Goodyear stock and make a killing.
Because you know Trumps stupid tweet is Fake/False.
The only mistake I see is a Goodyear subsidiary made is it was written down on a slide.
Whether his tweet was 100% true, 100% false or somewhere in between, he has the power to wreak havoc on whomever is the target of the tweet.
If he is ok with doing that to a US company, and possibly risk thousands of US jobs because their sales go down, I just do not see any possible way that can be justified, but as you know I have my TDS blinders on.

So now the employee's can have a little more freedom of expression.
Does the CEO realize he created such a Toxic environment?

Some of the older forumites may remember the good ole days when parents taught their kids to be polite, and not share their filthy political and/or religious views with other people.
You there, Ephialtes. May you live forever.
Re: Is Trump doing a good job?
Apparently it's now okay to share your political views even at work, just so long as you are on the right side of history. Fascists just need to shut up.
Re: Is Trump doing a good job?
I am by no means a Trump supporter. But I know enough people that are to know that they are tired of the Left and their constant calls for boycotts of places they don't agree with, whether it is FedEx on NRA member discounts or Chick Fila and Hobby Lobby on religious beliefs. Their feeling is that the Left started it and Trump is just playing by the same rules they set up. And I do not disagree with them.Cortopassi wrote: ↑Thu Aug 20, 2020 5:11 pmAbsolutely not.

Personally I wish people would just stop with the whole "everyone has to agree with me or I will punish them" thing. Especially since people are VERY selective in their outrage. Nobody vets their dentist or local butcher shop to make sure they are all on the same page politically and culturally. They only do it on the large businesses that make headlines. However, if people and businesses are going to continue to be called out for having opposing views then it needs to go both ways.

Re: Is Trump doing a good job?
I'm assuming most people realize that the whole push for universal mail-in voting and drumming up controversy around the USPS is so that when Trump inevitably wins the election in November, the Left will be able to maximize chaos by claiming the election was rigged/stolen.Dieter wrote: ↑Thu Aug 20, 2020 7:39 pmHow about the post office?

Is my assumption correct? Or do some people still not find it obvious that Coup Attempt 2.0 is coming in November?
Re: Is Trump doing a good job?
I'd flip it a bit, with Republicans doing everything they can to try to keep Trump in power, and will use any and all of these excuses as reasons to question the results when he looses and not leave office.Tortoise wrote: ↑Thu Aug 20, 2020 8:53 pmI'm assuming most people realize that the whole push for universal mail-in voting and drumming up controversy around the USPS is so that when Trump inevitably wins the election in November, the Left will be able to maximize chaos by claiming the election was rigged/stolen.Dieter wrote: ↑Thu Aug 20, 2020 7:39 pmHow about the post office?

As well as colluding with Russians, voter suppression, and now limiting USPS access and throughout.
Of course, I've seen many on the furthur left planning to vote third party in "safe" states... Trump might just win California.
Damn liberals...

If there is a lot of voting by mail and he loses, he could keep going with his rhetoric that see, I warned you, oodles of voter fraud. Our numbers show we didn't lose ; I'm not going to accept these results.
Re: Is Trump doing a good job?
Given that that’s a distinct possibility, why did the Dems give Trump that card to play?
If universal mail-in voting plays to Trump’s advantage and not the Dems’, why did the Dems push for it?
Re: Is Trump doing a good job?
On the topic of "what has Trump done that was good", here's a big one:
https://reason.com/2020/08/21/its-time- ... elehealth/
Reason magazine is very much anti-Trump, so they're very careful not to credit him in this article. However, I remember clearly that it was Trump who signed the executive order to wipe away the regulatory barriers that had been choking telemedicine efforts. The result was a revolution in outpatient medicine, and it will be very hard for the bureaucrats to put everything back into their Pandora's box.
I'm not sure how many Republicans would have done this. For sure no Democrat would ever have signed such an order; they only make new rules, they would never take them away. If Hilary Clinton had been elected, I can only imagine what would have happened with the lockdowns in place and hospital ERs mostly overwhelmed with COVID cases. Literally, no one would have been able to get a doctor visit, unless their doctor was willing to return a phone call. Most aren't because phone calls (pre-executive order) could not be billed, i.e. they were a free service. So without Trump and his executive order on telehealth, there would have been an even more serious lack of routine medical care during the worst of the pandemic, the financial hit to outpatient practices would have been far more devastating, and we would not now have this terrific new way of practicing outpatient medicine.

Yeah, I think more should be allowed online long term.
Do worry about across state lines and the race to the bottom that this can engender.

In the NYC area, patients who go to city medical centers live in New Jersey and Connecticut. Can you list one good reason why their physicians at the city medical center shouldn't be allowed to conduct a video visit to their homes? But of course they COULD do so if said person drove their car just inside the New York State border and did the visit from their car. What exactly about that makes sense to you?
As far as the "race to the bottom", I think it's outstanding that people in expensive health care markets (generally due to monopoly pricing) can now access care in cheaper markets if they are in a position to pay cash. Remember that telehealth means no in person physical exam, so it's generally for followups only, or new patient visits for a limited set of conditions.
Re: Is Trump doing a good job?
The concern is in why is it cheaper.
Tends to go lower salary, lower benefits, lower safety.
Limited say in regulations from other states.
Yes, can go in person across state lines, but that's really not comparable to driving for hours to cross state lines.
States in a given region also seem more similar -- New York compared to Connecticut vs Georgia.

Well, in another version of whataboutism, the Senate report on President Clinton's "disastrous" response to COVID-19 would be coming out about now.
"The President's overblown, unneeded and yet ineffective steps to combat Covid-19 shall not go unexamind. The untold billions of financial losses and the deaths of almost 1,000 american lives will not go unremarked or unpunished" from a joint statement by the Republican Speaker of the House and Senate majority leader.
If it had gotten as bad as it has, I don't think can say for certain that regulations on TeleDoc wouldn't have been lightened. If nothing else, the Republican legislature sure would have pushed for it, and Clinton IMO likely would have gone along, if for political if not other reasons
