Ezekial Emanuel on Biden team

Copied with his permission from Rob Wallace's FB page: So I've been commissioned to write a piece on the new Biden COVID task force. One member is Ezekiel Emanuel, Rahm's brother. Do you remember in Obama 2014 he argued in favor of a eugenics for the elderly? At a time when diseases of despair began to ravage rural America, leading to the start in unprecedented declines in American life expectancy, especially among whites in the Midwest and South, with the worst counties undertaking the greatest switch from voting Obama 2012 to Trump 2016. It's a stance Emanuel recapitulated in 2019 to MIT Technology Review: "These people who live a vigorous life to 70, 80, 90 years of age—when I look at what those people 'do,' almost all of it is what I classify as play. It’s not meaningful work. They’re riding motorcycles; they’re hiking. Which can all have value—don’t get me wrong. But if it’s the main thing in your life? Ummm, that’s not probably a meaningful life." One wonders what this will mean for Biden's intervention in nursing homes. Meanwhile the Gates Foundation provided the funds for an article the Guardian published couple days ago on the merits of child labor.
