are you actually stupid? if the hospital loses power, the battery backups keep ventilators running, lights on, elevators running, and keeping medicine in fridges cold

103

it still needs to be maintained, tested, and replaced. and hospitals without backup batteries or generators DON’T run without them. that’s the problem. if the power cuts out anyone connected to a machine that is helping keep them alive, will die. you can only hand ventilate so many people. no power means no emergency surgeries or care.

i forgot that keeping sick children alive was economic burden my bad. whoops forgot to turn off my empathy and care for literal children

Im sorry, are you arguing about hospitals having backup generators/batteries? Do you understand the services a hospital provides and then do you understand what a backup generator/battery is for?

Something that has the potential to harm children should not be passed. Jesus would not want this.

Do you know how much money hospitals make? Whether from general operations or contributions they make a shit ton. If those hospitals excuse for not getting backup batteries is bc of trump cutting funding then it’s on them. They never wanted or needed it in the first place

The hospitals aren’t insolvent by any means. If this is a serious concern or necessity they would get it. yall just want to make trump look bad

yes. a pediatric hospital being promised a backup battery to prevent children from dying from increasingly more common power outages and then having that promise yanked away is an objectively evil thing to do. no matter how you spin in.

honestly your opinion don’t even matter anymore after you couldn’t be bothered to do a decent google search and tried to pretend this WASN’T for a children’s hospital.

Regardless of how much a hospital makes, you don’t think the government should have an interest in ensuring that REGARDLESS of anything they should ensure that the hospital has a backup generator to ensure that children don’t die incase of an power outage?

Tbf this hospital just got backlash for serious executive compensation. But the larger theme is that this was absolutely political. This was one of the things cut under Vought’s attack on “Green New Scam” funding

exactly. the problem isn’t that WeLl ThE hOsPiTaL cAn PaY fOr It, the problem is that this was clearly a political issue and everyone is acting like WE’RE the crazy ones for recognizing that.

There’s a lot of missing context here. This hospital could definitely use diesel generators instead, like many hospitals, but the power outages from wildfires here are common. They’d be running more often than most hospitals’ generators. They’re looking for other funding sources atm, because this would offer a much cleaner approach for a region where the air quality sucks

People from the hospital and some contractors also dispute that there were any fire safety concerns or missed deadlines

“Adequately advance the nation’s energy needs” means it didn’t rely on companies lining Trump’s pockets lmfao. The hospital and contractors are saying no deadlines were missed and there are no safety concerns

not letting children die isn't 'economically viable' but spending a quarter of a billion dollars on the pedo ballroom is?

This is what politicians refer to as “spin” and right now you’re seeing what the right wing WANTS you to see, so you don’t realize that children are going to die directly because of this decision by the Trump administration, and then change your vote in the next cycle because they’re committing actual evil with zero remorse.

i agree but isn’t it possible that the spin is happening from both sides? the left is spinning stuff too to make trump look bad. the fact that this was a general cut but they want to highlight the children hospital part. even though that hospital likely will continue as usual

Anonymous #5 4d

a spin requires distorting the facts to make it seem like something different, something that without context appears to be something else. this is literally just cutting money to a children’s hospital. there is no spin, that is ACTUALLY what is happening.

Anonymous #5 4d

Spin is always happening on both sides, but for this particular story it is an objective fact that children are going to die, and the Trump administration doesn’t give a shit. Maybe they’ll say that they do at some point, but actions speak louder than words

Cutting grants that were previously given is unprecedented, no? Please correct me if I’m wrong
