Auntie Charo's Soapbox

Everything these days is either 'out-source' or 'privatize'.......it's 'RFP'd' or whatever it is that the government does to do the bid thingy(sometimes, that is!!!).......and so, it seems that GMH tried to find some nice people to manage the hospital so that it could be managed like most hospitals run.........like a business(the profit kind...you know, it makes money so that it can use the profits to paint, repair the place, give raises to nurses, pay retirement benefits, et cetera and the like, as most businesses usually do)....but, as KUAM reports, that didn't happen.....and I'm thinking....someone who was in the selection process.....probably saw some 'no-no' and crossed off the 'bidders'....making the process a no go, the entire process going back to the drawing board........
But, I bet that if this had been at the able hand of the likes of the mouth breathers of the GPSS board...........bet they would have chosen one of those bidders......I bet my last dollar that one of them would be here setting up an office as Dr. J. gets ready to set up her new office......heck, who cares about rules and laws, we could just get Rory R. to get his buddies to change the rules and regs....isn't that the way we do business around here, anyway?
You hire....then you change the law!!! So I can't understand why GMH couldn't get one of those bidders to get the bid to run the hospital......it's so confusing sometimes how one agency gets to bypass the law and others just don't try...it's like they don't know that the likes of Rory and friends aren't around to fix things....I just don't get it sometimes!
I kinda like this thingy about doing things and changing the law afterwards, it makes for flexible living....almost like confession...hmmmm, like adultery....or even having one's marriage annulled after years of being married.....with the flick of a finger..and the quick signature of a bishop, you were never married...voila! So, being flexible also means you can be flexible, unless of course you're a lowly teacher,(who can't) double-dip, teach part time at your favorite university and do whatever you want....just as long as you have friends in high places..
I think the governor should make the GPSS board select all future directors/hires and privatizations...they know best about qualifications!
