IT’S NOT NEGLECT, IT’S HATE:

EH, THEY TOLD US A LOT OF STUFF:

CHANGE: RFK Jr. Unveils Plan to Transform HHS into MAHA Powerhouse: ‘We’re Going to Do More With Less.’

To demonstrate how dysfunctional the department was when he took charge, he revealed that it’s organizational (Org) chart was incomprehensible.”

“There was no chain of command,” he explained, adding that “territorial” and “self-serving” employees were operating in “all these different silos and fiefdoms.”

According to Kennedy, within these silos, officials were “selling patient information to each other.” He told Cuomo that when he tried to obtain Centers For Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) depersonalized patient data—which belongs to HHS—”the sub-agency said we have to buy it from them!”

“It doesn’t make any sense. There were sub agencies that wouldn’t give us patient data,” he complained.

Kennedy told Cuomo that HHS has 100 communications departments, 40 procurement departments and “dozens” of IT and human resources units.

“None of them talk to each other,” Kennedy said. “And what we’re trying to do now is to streamline the agency, to eliminate the redundancies and to focus the mission so that everybody at HHS is going to wake up every morning and say, ‘What am I going to do today to make America healthy again?’”

To alleviate fears being drummed up by Democrats and their allies in legacy media, he stressed that they are not going to cut services.

Faster, please.

#JOURNALISM:

FLASHBACK: “Government, we are sometimes told, is just another word for things we choose to do together. Like a lot of things politicians say, this sounds good. And, also like a lot of things politicians say, it isn’t the least bit true.”

SAD: The average college student today: How things have changed. “Most of our students are functionally illiterate. This is not a joke. . . . I’m not saying our students just prefer genre books or graphic novels or whatever. No, our average graduate literally could not read a serious adult novel cover-to-cover and understand what they read. They just couldn’t do it. They don’t have the desire to try, the vocabulary to grasp what they read,2 and most certainly not the attention span to finish. . . . Their writing skills are at the 8th-grade level. Spelling is atrocious, grammar is random, and the correct use of apostrophes is cause for celebration. Worse is the resistance to original thought. What I mean is the reflexive submission of the cheapest cliché as novel insight.”

On the upside, they’re ready for careers in journalism.

Plus: “I can’t assign papers any more because I’ll just get AI back, and there’s nothing I can do to make it stop. Sadly, not writing exacerbates their illiteracy; writing is a muscle and dedicated writing is a workout for the mind as well as the pen.”

OPEN THREAD: Ring in the weekend.

REMEMBER, IT’S IMPORTANT TO PRESERVE RESPECT FOR THE JUDICIARY:

Apparently, she’s recusing herself but that she’d even be assigned is crazy.
