1. Tim Sheehy is a POS carpetbagger.

While this does bode well for Jon Tester, this is a MUST win seat for Dems if we are going to keep the Senate.

7. And here's one of the ways...

In which he bilks the taxpayers.

His aviation company, in order to win a government contract for fire season, barely had ONE vehicle that was used for the inspection and it was barely adequate. The rest had sub-par comms systems and a couple other safety issues yet somehow bullshitted their way to a contract award. it was a long, detailed telling and I can't do it justice here but suffice it to say that he's worse than a carpetbagger, he endangers our firefighters with his greed and bullshit.

I know this because I was told, first hand, about one of several incidents with that outfit where the person reporting was ready to red tag a flight they were scheduled to fly on one of sheehy's planes.

It's known among the firefighting community and there's a lot of firefighters in Montana. The company probably burned through it's good graces and isn't in line for a contract award this next year would be my guess.

AND, this grifter will endanger lots of Montanans if he’s successful in his election bid and his efforts to privatize healthcare in MT. Rural hospitals will close like falling dominoes. The red voters in most of Montana can’t seem to grasp this. People will absolutely die without access to hospitals and clinics.

There's not enough, most counties are lucky if there's hospital or critical care clinic in the county or the one next to it. Most have to go to Billings, Bozeman, Helena or out of state for serious healthcare.

I have to go to the next county over to go to the dentist* because I can't find one in my county that will take new customers.

*And some of their workers come from Billings every day, 75 mile commute, one way.

14. I think this needs well funded organisations to get out into these red heartlands, outside of election times, and teach

people the consequences of proper education/healthcare/social safety net and that it doesn't have to be dog eat dog. Doing it during election times when it's wall to wall them v us is clearly not working.

I'm with you. I can't stand this shit any more.

I know it's competitive for clicks and subscribes and views... but the RACE TO THE BOTTOM is a turn-off. I've unsubscribed from MeidasTouch Network.
