"I'd rather burn out than fade away" it's the future of the human race!!

I remember high school biology when we took a petri dish and spread some type of micro organism on it. Over two weeks we charted how fast the stuff grew and what happened once it had overgrown the nutrients in the dish. After the initial rapid growth most of the population crashed and other bacteria moved in destroying most of the initial population. Ended up with just a fraction of the max population. Don't know if they still teach this but they should.
 Sometimes I wonder where we are (the human population) in the petri dish of the world time line.
 Now the US is sending 3000 of our military to help contain the Ebola outbreak. Hope the 1918 flu pandemic spread by the returning WW1 solders hasn't been forgotten.
 The WHO is saying that the Ebola outbreak is getting close to being out of control.
 Not much I can do about it, think i'll have a beer

How is Merc and the other pharmaceuticals going to make a buck unless they get ebola started here in the US? Of course we need ebola patients over here, After all, it's US that has the healthcare bucks, not the folks in Africa.

It’s  Money, Just  Money.
BILLIONS  of dollars, to, ‘fix’, a problem,
which should have never happened in the first place.

Let’s MAKE, a problem, then we all get to fly First Class,
and buy a New Lexus/Mercedes, each year !!!!

Case in point:  The wife has a fracture in her Femur,
on a Thurs, took her to her doctor, she could NOT move.
He took a x-ray, sent her to the Hospital for a Cat Scan.

The Hospital sent the Cat Scan, 3 states away, to be, ‘viewed’, by ‘experts’.
They Said: “No Problem, go home”.
On a Sunday, had to call a ambulance, Went to the hospital,  EMERGENCY Surgery !!!

8 days in the Hospital. a Week later they sent a bill for 57,000.00.
I send back a request for a, ‘itemized statement’,  They sent 1/10 of one,
Triple spaces, Lots of paper, (but only a small part of the total)

This went on for 3 months. Each time a request, from me, for the  TOTAL, Itemized statement, and NEVER getting it.

Then the ‘Head’, person called, and we set up a meeting.
After the meeting, ‘he’ said: “Well what do you think”.
I said: “I will pay what it is worth, but will NOT  get  B.utt .F’ed”

3  DAYS later, got a bill for 15,000.00
GEE, a 42,000.00 REDUCTION ???????????????

GEE,  GEE, GEE !!!!!!!

So, is it not  GREAT, that a 'outbreak', can make, BILLIONS, for somebody?

And the, she-pol, will buy it !

Once the military gets involved which they already are then all that is needed is to transfer some of the solders straight from Africa over to the war against ISIS.  Suddenly there will be an Ebola outbreak in ISIS and other terrorist factions.
 It will be killing two birds with one stone. Geting rid of the terrorists and allowing the good old US to come in and save the world from a pandemic. JOG mst be wearing off on me.

Yep, thought crossed my mind. Did explore it.
And had not the hospital, considered their error, probably would have done it.

However, it would have been a 1.5 to 3 year battle.
With lawyers, taking a very, significant amount.

Bottom line. The problem, just happened, was no ones fault.
It got fixed. Everything is fine. The cost in the end, was reasonable, not totally outrageous.

And in the end, still want someone with Skill, Experience, Knowledge, to be able to, 'fix', something.
And have no problem, paying someone/some thing, a 'FAIR' rate.  
Just have a big problem with, OUTRAGEOUS  GREED !
Which was, also, fixed.

Now, $700.00, for a, 'book', (as reported on this site).
We all laugh, and their may be a few that buy it.
But, NO ONE, is FORCING you to do that.

Yet, when, you are, FORCED, to do something, and Because, you are 'Forced' to do that.  
That is  NOT, a Reason, to get TOTALLY  GREEDY, and charge OUTRAGEOUS  Prices.

You bought bottled water for .50 cents.
You sell it for, 5.00. Fine, get what you can get.
But you DON"T, 'sell' that bottle of water to a man in the desert,
dying of thirst, for $5,000.00.   Ya Just Don't !

And that is the problem. And it is getting worse.
