Judicious pairings: tragicomedy in two acts

Information operators

Health workers

(… do you remember the doctors' strikes in 2012? I don't. What does this mean? I couldn't tell you. Of course, if the journalistic and medical professions – and also another one that I won't mention out of charity – have discredited themselves, the fault does not seem to lie entirely with cynical and cheating fate: they put their own effort into it, and heavily! The bias in supporting those who would destroy the country simply because it was thought that it could rid them of a political opponent had consequences for everyone Even the journalists, even the doctors sawed off the branch they were sitting on. Now no one believes them anymore, but you can always add ridicule to the discredit: just put the data in perspective, and the reflection arises spontaneously: either they were too much. well before, so that when health spending stopped for a decade, this purge ultimately didn't weaken them too much, or they see the world the other way around, so that now that spending has started to grow again, it seems to them that it is decreasing. I don't know other explanations give them to me. What a shame when institutions in which we would like to have trust, or even worse in which we are forced to have trust due to lack of alternatives, allow themselves to be exploited by a political party! Then we complain about the loss of trust and respect of citizens! But considering how left-wing judges treat right-wing defendants, why should a right-wing patient trust a left-wing doctor, especially if a left-wing newspaper instead urges him to trust – and at that point running away becomes the only strategy rational! The evil and foolish factionalism of the PD has torn the social and institutional fabric of the country in a way that is difficult to mend and the posthumous complaints of PD-directed doctors about healthcare cuts are just the tip of an iceberg which is actually a Scheissberg … )
