Morning.
hope the easter bunny has been good to you all
she's getting the idea that shes doesn't like wetting the bed, and will wail loudly when it happens but is not yet able to anticipate-and-prevent it
Ha! I normally get really annoyed with the school of thought that says > We don't give to charity because it enables the governnment to shirk their responsibility However I make an an enormous excepton for '1 million claps` https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/apr/09/public-urged-to-raise-5m-for-nhs-staff-with-one-million-claps-appeal this really is the government shirking their responsibility
I guess we've known all along that this government were going to be shit
and they are in line with expectations
every time I look up the JVM DisableFastThrow switch, I find it surprisingly difficult to google
I see stuff like that and I’m like tax your eton mates, or christ, tax me more cos at least it means you’ll be taxing a whole band of people who can afford it but the bloody temerity to ask us to be charitable because the government has been failing for a decade makes my blood boil
a bunch of my pals were junior doctors during that whole fracas too
yeah agree
so even if I wasn’t already inclined to see the govt as self serving robber barons I also remember how disgracefully and contemptuously medical staff were treated by this govt
although I suppose in the interest of bbc balance I should say I worked in a mental health trust at the tail end of the labour years and they were more than happy to cut beds for vulnerable people (they just weren’t quite as cut happy, I guess - yr classic ‘least worst’ politics eh)
utterly depressing state of affairs
(and is also true that my medic pals are like don’t clap for the nhs, elect a govt that funds it ffs)
its a useful shared activity when folk are isolated
the NHS angle is more of a retrofit
and the desire to not be outdone by the applauding foreigners
would also be great if every house on the street had a different steel band instrument and. we could jam together
but much more difficult to organise
