Red Sox

Kudos to Bill Speros for his continued constructive criticism of the Boston Red Sox front office. He is the only writer in the city who continues to knock the ineffectiveness of the three stooges who are in charge of the Red Sox.

Where is John Henry? Tom Werner continues his ridiculous quotes concerning the direction of the team. Sam Kennedy continues to release statements that insults Red Sox fans.

For obvious reasons, as constituted, this team is going nowhere in the standings. Start with lack of starting pitching. Enough said.

More writers such as Bill Speros are needed.

Perhaps continued heat on this ownership will hurt the attendance.
There has to be a way for ownership to sell this team. Probably a pipe dream.

Will another Bob Kraft please step forward and make on offer to buy the Boston Red Sox?

Politicians

I was in sales for over 40 years. One of the cardinal rules was never to knock your competition but to sell the advantages of the product you were selling and how it would benefit your customers. Always worked for me, so it might be worth the politicians giving it a try to sell themselves and let the other person make a fool of themselves.

Migrants

As usual both the state of Massachusetts and the federal government have their well-intended priorities mixed up. We should be taking care of US citizens and our military veterans first (both those born here and the immigrants who did it the right way by applying for and being granted US citizenship) before spending any taxpayer money on illegal migrants or other such individuals. People are being denied the use of hotels just so those immigrants can stay at taxpayer expense. And what about those with criminal records – after seeing those four illegal migrants foolishly released on bail in New York after they allegedly attacked and assaulted two police officers? Where in the hell does it end? Governor Healey and our so-called “leaders” need to tell the federal government to shove off.

For-profit healthcare

So  how is a for-profit urgent healthcare provider a threat to a non-profit healthcare provider? It’s not.  Erin Murphy cited the number of vaccines that were given, I believe the health center was compensated extremely well by taxpayer money as it was taxpayer money which funded the vaccines that the government told us we needed and it the taxpayers who are paying for the healthcare centers now.

So let me explain something to the politicians who oppose a for-profit (capitalism) healthcare providers over non-profit (socialism), your demographic group (MassHealth) is not going to pay for healthcare when they are getting it for free, and the people who can afford to pay  for their healthcare will make a choice to go to either either healthcare providers. That’s the joy of living in a free society: options.
