Kinda like that undercover boss show where they tried to show how great these CEOs are by throwing some money at specific employees that are struggling, ignoring that better leadership and compensation that lines up better with the value being created would improve things for all of the other struggling employees that weren't lucky enough to be assigned to boss babysitting duty (assuming the whole thing wasn't staged entirely).

As someone who went down the conspiracy theory rabbit hole in the 00s but realized Alex Jones was full of shit by 2010, I was incredibly baffled to see the movement align behind someone who could be an avatar of everything it feared.

That said, the racism and bigotry in that movement had gone right over my head and I generally dismissed the more out there shit like lizard people or aliens being involved because it sounded stupid. I believed (and still do) that that shit is part of a real strategy to use ridiculous claims to generate noise that makes real things like MK ultra more likely to be dismissed along with them.

Before 2016 he was a celebrity people liked him as a no bullshit business owner like the middle class small business owners. As he was exposed to more media and has proven he was more of an idiot it personified him as someone like them. A moron who does what they want with 0 reflection or cares about other people.

It's super frustrating but as an example - my parents are deeply conservative and supportive of Trump, and also on the lower end of "wealth" and semi-retired. It is 100% misinformation. My Dad quotes the Fox news rhetoric like it's facts, and regardless of me disproving most of the BS, he is completely brain washed. At this point Trump could run a live execution of his political opponents and the Trumpets would more or less shrug.

Nah, that's just him.

Same here, but I don't think the workers tend to wear diapers either.

He didn't wash his hands either.

Covfefe? I think so.

THANK YOU.

It's not gross because he's not wearing gloves, it's gross because he probably never washes his hands after digging in his ass all day.

Get your reasons this man is disgusting straight people!

I wrote a similar comment about this exact same situation on another post but from a more healthcare oriented perspective. Specifically that unless you have open cuts / sores on your hands as a healthcare worker, clean but nonsterile gloves do not protect the patient! They are an OSHA requirement in place to protect the worker from exposure to bodily fluids and caustic cleaning chemicals. And for chemo you glove twice.

Sterile gloves, which are used to protect a patient from infection and are used for surgeries and specific types of bedside procedures like urine catheterization, are packed in sealed packages in single pairs and must be applied in a highly specific way by a trained individual, the minimum license usually being an LPN and more often an RN.

Unless that beef patty is acidic enough to burn your hands while preparing it (and if it is I shudder to think what it would do to a stomach) gloves out of a 100-count box ain't protecting anybody from anything and at their worst are bamboozling people out of washing their damn hands.

I saw an announcement yesterday saying it was from the onions.

Stupid fearmongering drivel. Yes, you can contaminate gloves. That doesn't make them worse than leaky skin, you actual moron.

Do you want your surgeons to wear gloves? If you say, "yes", then you are exposing your utterly moronic double standard. If you say, "no", then you truly do not understand actual germ theory and why gloves DO help.

Ignorance is no excuse. You are trying to sound confidant while WRONG. Do better, fool.

No, see, he's like santa. He can break the sound barrier under his own power in his goal to spread e. coli.
