Trump's cabinet was in the room for a meeting with the Obama team during the transition.

How does Dimon not know that?

Selective memory, Dunning-Kruger, etc...

Pick your option.

But president dumbfuck knows more than the experts.

So there you go

On the one hand I am furious at the outright lying that Dr. Brix did on CBN. On the other hand, I guess we are left with this religious semi-nut as the only firewall between us and Dr. Oz and total chaos.

“He’s been so attentive to the scientific literature and the details and the data,” Birx said. “I think his ability to analyze and integrate data that comes out of his long history in business has really been a real benefit during these discussions about medical issues.”

of their employees and the ever increasing service organizations who support their facilities and employees. Why doesn't he go ask what the janitor from xxx Services that cleans his office gets paid? How about the workers in their corporate cafeteria?

The word "Playbook" is even in the official fucking name of the document.

we cannot say this enough. An intelligent, thoughtful president was prepared but the trump idiots would not listen, would not attend the meetings, and threw the manuals in the garbage.

He could have just said that Neo-liberal economics and politics mean you burn any playbooks on first sight. They are not profitable. This has been anticipated for decades.

The playbook was just ignored and what a load of distraction and corporate noise Dimon can spin as a super shill:

...and on and on and on.

And there are scores of sites, blogs, etc. You would have to be blind to miss it.

This caught my eye in the last one:

Thanks for highlighting those parts.

Obviously, and most importantly, COVID-19 is a sign of what's to come, not an aberration. This can't be allowed to be covered up and canned after the peak and resolution. What it means is that we have to put as much money and preparation into potential pandemics to come now, maybe more than we have spent on wars, aggression and meddling interventions in the past. This is a war with imminent deadly diseases now and to come.

A decent chunk of our military budget should be diverted to this cause and a special department should be created to oversee it, though we won't see hide nor hair of that as long as Dr. Death is at the helm, i.e., Trump. In fact, it will be just the opposite because he is going to want to sweep it under the rug for his own sake as soon as possible and that's dangerous and deadly for us all.

which is much slower spreading but also amplifies the rate of spread of COVID-19 and other diseases through forced migrations and poverty:

Climate change.

I notice that Dimon cleverly omitted that little issue.

As you said, "covered up and canned after the peak and resolution" is exactly what his class of people will do.


KY..........

Better run administrations would have been prepared. We have the supplies, or, had. There is no rhyme or reason to this infantile administration. Nobody knows WTF is going on.

A little bit of organization goes a long way.

Trump doesn't usually pick a fight with someone who has more money than him.

Dimon's criticism, of course, overlooks a lot of salient facts, particularly about the state of the nation's schools and the social safety net. Mostly about how they're inadequate to the jobs they're tasked with because people in Dimon's income bracket don't pay their fair share of taxes. I'm going to guess that's not a solution he proffers.

and the trump idiots didnt wanted to show up at the meetings

Jamie, what about the malfeasance of international corporations, the incompetence of the Trump administration and the greed and elitism of the 1% who offshore their money and don't pay nearly enough taxes?

We're waiting on your prompt reply as the COVID-19 deaths skyrocket and as President Obama's pandemic playbook is in waiting for you to read.


KY..........

Obviously, they didn't include pandemic in their actuarial models.
$5/ month to all policy holders since mid 2010 would have had a pandemic reserve fund and we wouldn't be hearing about sticker shock increases in premiums.
Hope he talks to those execs. He has to know several!

JP Morgan was a Robber Baron and Dimon is the equivalent in this era. Finance, money, and increasing power. that is what people like Dimon have been into. He has known the direction that the country has been going in since before the last time the economy was tanking under a Republican administration for similar incompetence.

These guys start "warning" and moralizing about how the "common man" has been left behind when they start getting scared that the pitchfork, the torches, and the guillotines are starting to come out. They are scared for themselves, not showing any special care for anyone else.

Dimon couldn't give a squirt of piss about the schools being underfunded or not teaching health. The banks are sitting on wealth that could fund schools completely and cure world hunger.

He had to get in that there is "waste and inefficiency" in the government. Yes, there will always be waste, but much of that is fairly negligible in the grand scheme of things, the inefficiency has largely been the result of special interests who have to try to squeeze profit out of programs. Medicare has less "waste and inefficiency" than ANY private payer for health care yet not discussion about that.

A "proper immigration policy". Well, those corporations that you fund Dimon, the ones that operate in foreign countries and corrupt their governments so that they can crush labor unions, pay low wages, and degrade the environment; those are the same companies that block any attempts at sane immigration policies.

This is bullshit.
