Iowa Doctor: ‘Hunger’ May Lead Patients To Take Desperate Measures To Work | The Last Word | MSNBC
OMG ! So …. Hunger, Losing your home, Losing your business you had spent years & generations to build. Your homeless and destitute family living on the streets “May Lead” people to take “Desperate measures to WORK ? What kind of sick & truly demented & privileged wealthy person would even ponder something that twisted ?
@Laura Lafauve No, I do not fly but during Ebola which still exists people took Paracetemol to mask their fevers while fleeing to get to other countries.I live below th poverty level and I’m crippled so I worry about people interacting with me since I have a weak immune system.I have not left my dwelling since I got a flu shot last Novemeber while having a physical.
@Debra Salt I’m sorry to hear all that. I guess since I was working and worrying about losing housing and healthcare for most of my life, I identify more with that poor woman than people flying on airplanes.
Yes….Republicans moving to labor laws of the past.
This is the result of Union Busting that started with Regan.
@Laura Lafauve we need some “stop gap” measures in the U.S. to stop this fear.These people working in meat plants work hard, a lot harder than some pampered Millennial that whines all day that they want to go to bars and restaurants.Boo and Hoo for that lot!
@Debra Salt yes. It’s getting bad. I make a little noise bothering people with my posts. I’ll keep doing that.
Maybe while your staying inside you can write a few letters, or something.
Anyway, stay safe.
Very understanding doctor.
The US needs a social safety net, billionaires and corporates get more money from taxpayers than American citizens.

@Mno buzzz
wattlesong : WHY, though? . . . I mean, I just don’t get it? If America is SO RICH, like Donny’s been telling us for three years, where TF are all these POOR PEOPLE COMING FROM? . . . 🤔
imiss toronto : America is not a wealthy country, either. That much is clear, now. Otherwise, we wouldn’t HAVE all these poor people, would we? . . . Is anyone else starting to think that the DOW Jones doesn’t actually APPLY to them, now? Perhaps, they’re starting to REALISE that the, “richest nation on Earth,” only HAS 1% rich people, and the rest of us are all just fodder for the money machine? . . . Jeez
Clarence : Is that a bunch of pro-trump Click-Bait-Malware-trap scammery you’re spreading, there, son? Looks like it? Maybe Normals are too smart to give countable hits to propaganda sites? . . . Smh
Mno buzzz : The trolls are being paid to spread the, “China Cooked up the Virus,” propaganda line, right now. Between that, and their clumsy, “Social Justice Warriors Free Flynn,” nonsense, they’re pretty busy this week . . . Anything to keep us off the rising numbers of the dead, which they’re also burying, btw. Kinda’ chilling, when you think about it?
“It’s not like these workers are regular folks.” – republican leaders not even trying to hide their real feelings.
Ro G : I just don’t get it? If America is SO RICH, like Donny’s been telling us for three years, where TF are all these POOR PEOPLE COMING FROM? . . . 🤔
@Ash Roskell everyone was working but not making any money just enough to get by
#MEDICARE AND UBI FOR AMERICANS
KEEP ALL AMERICANS
HEALTHY AND SAFE
DURING THIS PANDEMIC
What’s keeping America going? The low-middle income families that burn through their weekly paychecks, with little savings while the rich is just “riding” it out.
All I got to say is people have family’s to take care of
wont have a family if covid get ya
@Cinda Rella like SERIOUSLY. I empathize with the real fear of being rendered helpless but fear death…
Anyone: Donald I have a question.
Trump: It’s Obama’s fault.
Anyone: Mr. President
Trump: Ask Chi-na
Big gaping GHYnah!
Trump doesn’t give a hoot about the meat packers. Their lives are worthless to Trump.
New Age Genocide
Every prison inmate are now in the covid-19 lottery to win a space on death row.
Get your flaming torches and pitchforks ready ladies and gentlemen. Riot gear is optional. Your child is hungry? Let them eat cake.
Eat the rich. Lots of yummy fat.
read it and weep
Oh, say, can you see, by the dawn’s early light
What so proudly we hail’d at the twilight’s last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars, through the perilous fight
O’er the ramparts we watch’d, were so gallantly streaming?
And the rockets’ red glare, the bombs bursting in air
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there
O say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
Something totally defunct in USA society.
Peter Scheen it’s trump it’s defucked one.
She said it all
So, Donny was wrong, when he said America was, “rich,” these past 3 years? We can’t even afford to FEED America? Let alone pay them to stay home and safe? Maybe the Stock Market graphs we’ve all been looking to, are NOT the, “barometer,” of the the nations, “wealth,” that we thought it was? Maybe that’s just about the very rich people? I guess conservatives and liberals can talk that one over, while they’re waiting in those miles long cues for the Food Banks? . . . 🤔
Ash Roskell 100% 👌
Donny got slammed by the devils legion, serpent pigeon, you’re about a phony little feces bunny arnt you, keyster sniffer..
There is a good reason we called them “Deplorables.”
Isn’t it sad. The “great” nation can’t take care of it’s people during a pandemic that was none of their fault.
Agree it exceptionally sad but let the lunatics run the asylum and you get chaos
Dems are counting on it in Nov.
A NEAR INTUITIVE COMMAND OF THE OBVIOUS. THANK YOU MSNBC FOR YOU HIGH STANDARDS AND TRUTHFULNESS!!!! (gagg ) Want to buy some Arizona OceanFront? Great Deal!!
Tyson doesn’t care about its employees I’ve heard first hand through corporate @BrettHarris
Choice-less choices is something I learned in 6th grade Social Studies but only now do I see the true face of it. Do you die to hunger and no shelter/ income or do you die to corona?
With corona you at least have a small % chance of winning the risk and not getting sick whereas not working will be certain doom/ death. May god have mercy on all of us.
