just asking

“With the massive testing challenges we are facing as a nation, it seems hard to justify committing any capacity for something optional like sports,” said Dr. Neel Gandhi, infectious disease expert and associate professor of epidemiology at Emory University Rollins School of Public Health.

So just as an average citizen, one who does not have school-aged children, one who does not thankfully have to ride a form mass transit to go to work, one who still worries about income, but so far have not had to make some tough priorities as to which few dollars I will spend on food, or shelter, or health, so just as an average citizen not making a six-figure salary, playing baseball, I am, HOWEVER, REALLY, REALLY CURIOUS…how come the MLB has access to massive testing almost on a daily basis…and I DO NOT!

I wish no harm to any MLB Player, but what exactly makes their lives so much more important than say…MINE, or those I love and care about, who don’t play professional ball? And just to UNDERSTAND THIS EVEN MORE…WTF and WHY THE FUCK, if we are so keen on opening schools, how come all of the staff from the Janitor, to the Crossing Guard, to the Bus Driver, to the Teacher, to the Principal can’t get the same kind of massive testing as the MLB.

WAIT, WAIT, I know, SCHOOLS are not CORPORATIONS, teachers teach but the profit margin is low, so it really is not a true CORPORATION and CORPORATIONS  are people…PEOPLE who receive perks and bonuses and have enough bribe money to purchase DAILY MASSIVE TESTING.  Just asking for a friend!
