The media has bombarded us non-stop with "how hard our doctors and nurses are working" Meanwhile, they're in empty hospitals, dancing and trying to get tik-tok famous. They make me sick. I thought they were supposed to be busy treating millions of Americans in overcrowded hospitals?
Hero is probably the most overused word being thrown about these days, actually for several years now. It started as some kind of guilt ridden gesture to compensate how Vietnam Vets were treated. Suddenly every schmuck who signed up was a hero. Ahhh, no. Then it really took off during 9/11. They run towards the danger ad nauseam. Well, that's their fucking job, it's what the get paid to do. There were plenty of heros that day, most all of them regulat Joe's and Jane's who ran towards the danger to help when they didn't have to. That's a hero. Now every doctor and nurse is a hero. Ahhh, no. You getting paid bitches, just go do your fucking job. Heros aren't hamming it up for the camera or complaining about long hours and horseshit conditions. The only heroes I see in all of this are again the average Joe's and Jane's giving their time to help others less fortunate.
