We just had a fly by in Philly to show "support" for the medical professionals here... how about buy them some supplies with that money instead?

@AtlasFreeman @freemo also LOL @ the idea that the only reason for shortages is money

@leyonhjelm

Thats not really the whole of the argument here. You could literally dump the cash int he nurses lap and it would be more of a thank you to them than some plans flying over head.

@AtlasFreeman

@freemo @AtlasFreeman what's your argument though? Dumping cash onto people just to dump cash is a non starter for me.

@leyonhjelm

That it is a shitty way to say thank you and not one that any one they were thanking either appreciated or wanted. From what I hear most of them would have rather them done nothing than to create a shit ton of pollution and waste a bunch of money for no reason.

@AtlasFreeman

@AtlasFreeman

The idea that the money is pre-budgeted and couldnt be redirected is part of the problem I suppose, not so much a justification.

with that said there were probably much better gestures than that.
