Rep. #PramilaJayapal (D-WA) and Rep. #JonathanJackson (D-IL) traveled to Cuba last week, delivering an unusually blunt assessment of #US policy.

After meeting with Cubans from across the political spectrum, and visiting a hospital impacted by the #Trump-imposed #oil #blockade, they described US policy in stark terms, equating it to warfare against the Cuban people.

The leading cause of death

“Good morning.”

“Good morning, doctor.”

“How are you doing?”

“It’s probably best not to tarry. I’m parked in the metered zone. Give it to me straight, doctor. How much time do I have left?”

“Let me get the right visual aid. Ah… yes. You see this display with the time ticking down?”

“Yes.”

“That’s the time you have left.”

“Shit! That’s less than five minutes!”

“I’m very sorry.”

“I won’t even have time to put my things in order.”

“Wait, what???”

“If I’m going to die, I need to put my things in order.”

“Who said anything about you dying so soon?”

“You said my time is being counted down by this display.”

“Oh. Yes. That’s the time you have left on your parking spot. I thought that’s what you meant.”

“Oooohhhh… ha ha. So I get to live then?”

“For a while, yes.”

“Say, you’ve never told me what I have.”

“Oh, yes. You’re not going to die within the next five minutes, but you do have a terminal condition.”

“Shit… what condition?”

“You have an acute case of being alive.”

“Oh?”

“Yes, did you know that being alive is the leading cause of death, not only in this country, but everywhere on the planet?”

“So I won’t die soon?”

“No, you’ll die of ocular burnout 10 years from now.”

“Ocular burnout? What is it?”

“That’s top secret, I’m afraid. At any rate, you’ll live long enough to pay the parking ticket that will be automatically generated for you, just… about… now, according to my display.”

Well, as always when a Govt. & top managers have lost trust of a public sector work-force, and fail to settle a long running industrial dispute, the next step is pretty much always the consideration of a ban on striking altogether.

So, you'll be unsurprised that NHS senior managers, after three years of on-off conflict with Resident Doctors, are asking Wes Streeting to consider a legal ban on strikes by doctors. Streeting has so far demurred but how much longer?
