I am incredibly ambivalent about the whole situation.
Sometimes I think there is something centralised or organised about it. A force for good. A virus that spares the young. That mostly targets the elderly people in nursing homes with plenty of pre-morbid conditions...
Our Prime Minister keeps saying we are self-isolating to keep our old people safe. We will not allow herd immunity to develop. Development of herd immunity is inhumane. We are taking humane steps to prevent community transmission that would naturally occur without intervention. We most certainly are not trying to kill off the old people in the old people homes. We are doing everything we can to keep them alive (whether they want to be or not -- atually we just legalised euthanasia for people with less than 6 months to live only just BEFORE this whole thing hit)...
I am ambivalent about the situation.
I am ambivalant about whether the government is doing what is in the best interests of New Zealand or New Zealanders or anything other than the financial interests of senior officials in this mess.
I am ambivalent about whether supplies are being hoarded to enhance the next pay increase for the Minister of Health and the Members of the District Health Board who feel that they won't be able to find the money for their next pay increase if they need to spend the money on replacing supplies.
I am ambivalent about whether our senior officials are profittering from this situation.
E.g., our Tertiary Education sector. They always cry poor poor poor we need more and more and more government handouts. While senior officials earn hundreds and hundreds of thousands of dollars each and every year. Poor poor poor poor them. Poor them. Just a constant stream of government handouts and bail outs for poor poor them.
While they don't process applications or completions. While they don't grade things properly. While they don't do any of the work or any of the things they are supposed to do.
Where are all the theses?
THe senior offiicals were too cheap to have them printed.
Poor poor poor.
Besides which nobody here has speaking rights.
Poor poor poor.
I don't know what is going on or whether things are in teh process of getting better or what the hell.
All I know is that the senior officials generally...
Earn too much.
Earn to much to be at all even a tiny little tiny bit credible.
They don't seem to do anything except figure out how to profit themselves at everybody elses expense.
Nasty psychopaths.
That's what I see.
They don't even do the most basic things they are required to do.
Grub all the resources for themselves.
Hide themselves away.
Not appearing in public any more.
That's for sure.
