People With Disabilities Lives Matter-But Not In Connecticut

 I would love to see signs in front of homes that state: "People With Disabilities Lives Matter".  I know I won't because those people who have disabilities in our state along with our elderly population especially in nursing homes have been long forgotten about during our never ending supposed Covid-19 crisis.

I will use myself as an example of trying to deal with our never ending supposed Covid-19 crisis as a person with a disability.  I have a 90% loss of hearing in my left ear along with a 55% loss of hearing in my right ear plus I have tinnitus which is a constant ringing in my ears or as I refer to it as hearing peepers 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.  I wear two hearing aids that offer some help in hearing but little for the tinnitus. I also read lips to try to follow what people were saying and also read my students lips when I taught in the classroom for many years at Gateway Community College and other local colleges.  Therefore I can "hear" with the help of my eyes in reading other peoples lips.   I believe I overcame my disability through the years (I have been wearing hearing aids for roughly 40 plus years now and have taught for 38 years). With the mandate for everyone to wear masks I basically no longer hear what people are saying to me with their masks on at grocery stores, gas stations, restaurants, etc.  I hear a bunch of garbled sounds except when the person who is speaking through a mask is loud and I can make out some of what they say.  Most people are deathly afraid to pull down their masks so you can hear them.  They have been programmed this way for fear of?  Thus my wife must tell me what a waiter or waitress tells us if we are in a restaurant as again in most cases I can not hear what they are saying.  Apparently myself and many other hearing impaired people must not hear anything any more to fight the never ending supposed Covid-19 crisis.  Our hearing is not important to our elected officials while protests such as we have seen over the past few weeks can take place in Connecticut with no issues so long as they fit their liberal agenda.  I can only imagine the issues that people who have eye blindness are going through at this time.  I can only imagine those people who have special needs and have lost their jobs at work groups and homes.  Where is their help?

Why are family members not allowed to see their loved ones in nursing homes and or rehabilitation centers in Connecticut?  I wonder why human interaction for those most in need has been eliminated when there are virtually no cases of Covid-19 in our never ending supposed Covid-19 crisis at this time?  To me people who are in these nursing homes and or rehabilitation centers in Connecticut have become prisoners in their locations while the state has let go real prisoners from the state prisons during this crisis.  Why are they being treated so badly?  Why are the elderly being treated as prisoners? We saw the complete ineptness of our State Public Health Department when there was mass deaths in the state's nursing homes at the peak of the crisis.  The state forced these people to die alone without their family members by their side.  I am sickened every time I think about those elderly men and women and not one person in our state government holds any responsibility for this debacle.  Yet they got their pay raises on July 1.  Where is the outcry in our state?  Where is our non functioning elected state legislature to investigate this?

People With Disabilities Lives Matter but not in Connecticut.  Connecticut's liberal agenda has written off people who have disabilities and who are elderly.  We obviously do not fit their "perfect" society of a superior race.  People with disabilities should be treated with respect and care.  They are valuable to our society.  They are the people that protests in the streets should be rallying for.  Enough is enough.

Ned Lamont:Profits Over Connecticut Taxpayers

There is a great deal of money to be made during a crisis.  The Covid-19 crisis has brought about many great opportunities to profit if one has both the political connections along with immunity from the law.  It has been profits over people since March 17 and before here in Connecticut.  For that is the date of the great closing of Connecticut as dictated by Ned Lamont.  This was the date that was the final closing date for many businesses in Connecticut that will never reopen again.  Don't worry, some food was provided by Lamont but it had to be gotten from large supermarket chains and warehouses.  It apparently was much safer to shop there than your local store and for only "essential" items.  Many Mom and Pop stores, small restaurants and service companies will never open again.  Many are still trying to survive and are struggling under the draconian conditions placed upon them through Lamont's Executive Orders.  Phased reopening conditions that in some cases defy both common and economic logic.  Do all restrictions end when Lamont's daughter gets married?
Did Lamont or the Boston Consulting Group ever wonder what would happen to those customers of restaurants (they are not guests) who are eating outside when a sudden rain shower passes through?  Why are they not allowed to go inside the restaurant and finish their meal?  Are their germs different from being outside than inside?  Has Boston Consulting Group determined this somehow?  Obviously Lamont and the Boston Consulting Group have little like or need for the Connecticut restaurant industry even though restaurant customers get to pay a higher state sales tax for the privilege of eating prepared food out.  7.35% versus 6.35%.  Do we get something extra from the state for paying that 1% extra in sales tax?  As can be seen during this crisis the restaurant industry seems not to be necessary in Connecticut in either providing jobs, personal or business income, and or tax revenues.  Apparently we can just forgot about them especially the small ones.  Your life's work and savings can be eliminated with one mere Lamont Executive Order.
Lamont seems to be fixated with a long, gradual and economically painful reopening to the remaining businesses and industries in Connecticut.  You now need certification to reopen.  The Boston Consulting Group with its no bid Taxpayer funded contract wants a long and gradual reopening to the state so that more profits can be forthcoming to select groups with political ties to Connecticut especially themselves.
Testing for Covid-19 and Contact tracing is a given in the long run under the state's reopening and I am sure it will be forced upon Connecticut's Taxpayers as a way to supposedly stop the already stopped Covid-19 virus.  The state's numbers on the virus are way down and the bulks of deaths were sadly found in nursing homes with elderly people.  Little is said about this other than Lamont wants all the employees and patients of nursing and assisted living homes to be tested.  And then what?  A slow death to those who have it?  Or profits to companies that have ties to the state and the Lamonts?  They may include the Boston Consulting Group, One Medical, Core Infomatics, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Oak HC/PT Partners III or others.   Since the state bidding process for these tests and procedures is either secret and or does not exist Connecticut Taxpayers will never find out who gets what. 
Ned Lamont continues to place profits over the Connecticut Taxpayer.  The state seems to be his own new toy to pay back business friends and his own family with profits from the never ending Covid-19 virus.  A virus that has destroyed the state economy while bringing home the cash to the select political elite few.
I am so tired of Connecticut's government constantly ripping off the Connecticut Taxpayer.  The economic rape never ends, as those in state government, the so-called media, all benefiting from these arrangements stand by in virtual silence.
