Yes, leftists tend to be unreasonable in many respects, but out of respect for my neighbor, I need the excercise and would like some seriously-minded Freeper help.
Please read the article before responding, and then answer my neighbor who says this about it: "I happen to agree with him. What he is saying aligns with my thoughts closely."
My response thus far: "Chomsky is a brilliant man in many respects. Why would he twist this malady to fit his world view? I guess he feels a need to justify himself."
Thank you. God bless you each and all, according to His mercies in Christ Jesus.
Was it?
It always helps a faulty argument to build it upon a faulty premise.
How do we put in place rapid-response systems in preparation for an outbreak when we do not know precisely in what that outbreak will consist? Are we supposed to develop and market vaccines for every co nceivable virus?
Chomsky was not bad as a linguistics researcher.
Just like Barbra Streisand is not bad as a singer.
Easy to sit in an ivory tower and bitch. BTW Obama depleted CDC supplies and never replaced them.
Yawn, just another commie apologist covering for China.
The NHS of UK has total,of 8,000 ventilators for the country and they are not being used to treat those over age 60
Neoliberal socialism
Chomsky.

I presume his solution is for more government control. But it was the governors of various state’s who failed to stock their warehouses with equipment not a failure of “capitalist” companies to produce the equipment. They were ready to produce as much as anyone cared to order.
Now we have a crisis of supply and they expect the “capitalists” to produce five year’s worth of production in three weeks.
The “government” had one job! (when it comes to material supplies)
If a metal foundry wants an x-ray machine to inspect its parts it just buys it. If a hospital wants one it might have to go on bended knee to get permission to buy and install it.
So we’re supposed to build and stockpile billions of dollars worth of stuff that we may never need and that might have decayed to nothingness by the time we need it?
Sounds pretty smart.
Socialist and Communist states are well known for having ten times as many ventilators sitting around than they actually need during normal times. It’s actually a requirement right on page 1024 of the Communist Manifesto.
Chomsky was an apologist for the Killing Fields of the Khmer Rouge, now he’s an apologist for the crematoriums of the CCP, and their welding the doors shut on apartment blocks, leaving the residents to starve to death.
He says that he sees much wrong here though.
“Chomsky: Ventilator Shortage Exposes the Cruelty of Neoliberal Capitalism”
Noam Chomsky really hit the nail on the head with that one... because as we all know, socialized medicine countries like UK and Italy have all the ventilators they need because their stockpiles were so huge, while socialist paradises like Venezuela have so many ventilators that they’re supplying the rest of the world with as many as they need for free, plus communist paradises like North Korea and Cuba have so many that they’re selling their surplus to capitalist countries who have none, and finally, 3rd world shithole countries in Africa and South America stockpiled thousands of ventilators over the last few years and will therefore be in good shape ...
The statement is correct, but he may be way off the mark insofar as his conclusions.
The supply of PPEs was depleted after the 2009 H1N1 crisis, and never replenished. Why? Because the bureaucrats had other priorities. Like studying gender dysphoria, or shrimp running on treadmills. And hiring more people who do little work because they just have to spend every penny so they can ask for more money next year and make themselves look important.
There is a mentality across the country that is just wrong-headed. If a hospital executive purchased a bunch of PPEs and they sat in storage for years, he would be perceived as wasteful rather than proactive. He might be denied a promotion or a pay raise, or even fired. They would rather spend it on "woke" things like solar panels or new glass windows or a nice water feature in the lobby or a PR campaign targeting 'awareness' of the latest and most oppressed self-identified group of the year.
And look, an epidemic or pandemic is totally predictable. I guarantee with 100% certainty a black swan event will occur. You just can't predict when, or what type. And it is the responsibility of the alphabet swamp to be prepared for it. And I guarantee you as well that there are scores of contingency plans written by mid level earnest people who get ignored because they are not telling their supervisors what the supervisors want to hear. All this "blame Trump" is totally, completely misplaced. It is misdirection across the board from the governors to the Congress and the media. The only blame he gets from me is for taking it on faith that the alphabet swamp actually works for the interests of the country. They don't. They work for themselves, and protect themselves.
Maybe, perhaps, if the Congress and the alphabet swamp wasn't so busy burying him with treachery and hearings and subpoenas he'd have had a chance to do a deep dive into their dereliction of duty, and maybe he could have seen the depth of their depravity and wanton wastefulness. But that is the point of their constant attacks. They went after General Flynn because they didn't want him to streamline their operations. They pulled the whole Ukraine impeachment hoax because it would have revealed incredible levels of corruption at the highest of levels of government. They don't want anyone to pull the curtains back for it will reveal the waste, the corruption, the sedition and treachery that is the swamp.
I pray Trump wins another term and lets loose the dogs on the lot of them.
He hasn't produced anything since the 1960s.
And what does the ventilator shortage in Italy tell us? How about Great Britain? How many ventilators does Venezuela have?
Chomsky is scum. X a million
No
Word He would ever utter would be truth !!!
