Stop the pandemic charade and the mental health of many people will be restored.
Remember to Vote to Recall the Nuisance so we can get our lives back
Kaiser has repeatedly been sued for failing to provide proper mental health care to their patients.
So why is Steve Glazer having the head of Kaiser Mental Health of Pleasanton as a guest speaker for his townhall? Because Steve Glazer is beholden to big money donors. He has an F rating by the Courage Campaign, which puts him in the Courage Campaign Hall of Shame.
Steve Glazer voted against SB343, which proposed to aligned Kaiser’s financial disclosures to the same standards of other medical providers. Kaiser has a special loophole, and SB343 was a proposal to remove that loophole so Kaiser followed the same rules as other providers in our state.
Glazer (and other politicians like him) is a shill for Kaiser. A corrupt politician defending a corrupt healthcare provider that is failing the working class and middle class patients who pay premiums for services they are not receiving.
Can we start with your fellow politicians?
+1
My sentiments exactly, clean your own house first…
How about ol’ Steve do a presentation explaining how Democratic politicians have been jerking us around and trying to scare and threaten us so much maybe they alone are to blame for the decline in mental health. They point out the problem they create. What’s the impact on mental health of a year of riots and arson, resist, BLM, increasing polarization, anarchists, unjustified impeachment, manufactured racism, the leftist media screaming everything is always an emergency, and using covid as a political weapon. All the hype that we just barely survived an insurrection, what baloney. An insurrection is a violent attempt to overthrow the government, not guys armed with cloth flags. And how about the violation we feel when Glazer gets elected by convincing voters he will fight the mess at BART, but when elected basically does zippo on that and instead pursues his own agenda like legislation to ensure prison inmates are housed according to their own gender identity. Seems we know who is attacking the state’s mental health.
This is a little Orwellian. Covid-19 doesn’t cause mental health problems. Fear and social isolation, on the other hand, definitely do. If you actually want to do something about that, Glazer, you can call for more resources and fewer restrictions related to the pandemic, and demand an end to hygiene theater and fear-based nonsense like outdoor restrictions and Zoom instead of school.
Other than being bummed that the live music events I participate in (both as player and producer) were cancelled, we managed to avoid the general malaise last year by just continuing to go out. We made regular trips to the Sierra both single and multi day.
I let the teen regularly hang with her friends as they were very self diligent about masking. I didnt buy into the jumping spider virus theory -turns out we were right. Go figure.
Rekindled my love/hate affair with golf and played with friends regularly as well as mtn biking Shell ridge 4-5x a week.
Based on the last set of bills Glazer has proposed, maybe he should look in the mirror for mental health issues. IMO, the real issue was the hysterics of my fellow citizens who went off the rails in fear and panic. No stoicism at all.
Well, that’s half true. But for those young people whose parents weren’t as humane or sane as you, it was a very bad year. Also a bad year for those forcibly put out of work. And some people did lose loved ones. It’s not all self-inflicted damage – even the parts that were avoidable.
Another easel and magic marker discussion.
Meetings: the practical alternative to work.
A new Governor will do wonders for California mental health. As Obama would say, “The Audacity of Hope”.
Just more gibberish from the leftists and dems what a waste of time and air space.
I’m still grappling with the fact that so many people in this are so mentally ill that Biden was elected! And anyone who believes anything coming out of the mouth of Gavin bin Lyin’ has stopped grappling with their mental illness and embraced it.
so true chuckie!
sorry I voted for him..also Tim Grayson…they are not always what they seem
