Thoughts from the Beach
GorT is on vacation with the family. On the way to the undisclosed location (orders have been issued to Biden’s handlers to keep his mouth shut) we were able to stop and see some good friends. A good point was brought up when we got on the topic of the Obama healthcare plan. We’ll start by using numbers that we frequently hear. We have about 45 million people in the country “without healthcare” (of course by now, dear reader, you are an expert in this and know that this is a canard). With the current number of healthcare providers in this country, the real question that we need to ask is, “who is going to treat these 45 million?” Have you been to the doctor’s office lately and seen him or her underworked? maybe an empty waiting room? Likely no. And what provisions are there by the Obama administration to encourage more providers? None. In fact, there have been more disincentives – the maligning of the doctors on the basis that they do procedures just to earn a buck.
Without more doctors the inevitable condition will be what others have been asking (but not getting answers) our elected officials and mentions by your Gormogons: rationing. You, you and you need to wait a few months for your critical surgery. You, well, tough it out. Next.
GorT is an eight-foot-tall robot from the 51ˢᵗ Century who routinely time-travels to steal expensive technology from the future and return it to the past for retroinvention. The profits from this pay all the Gormogons’ bills, including subsidizing this website. Some of the products he has introduced from the future include oven mitts, the Guinness widget, Oxy-Clean, and Dr. Pepper. Due to his immense cybernetic brain, GorT is able to produce a post in 0.023 seconds and research it in even less time. Only ’Puter spends less time on research. GorT speaks entirely in zeros and ones, but occasionally throws in a ڭ to annoy the Volgi. He is a massive proponent of science, technology, and energy development, and enjoys nothing more than taking the Czar’s more interesting scientific theories, going into the past, publishing them as his own, and then returning to take credit for them. He is the only Gormogon who is capable of doing math. Possessed of incredible strength, he understands the awesome responsibility that follows and only uses it to hurt people.
