Something you can do. Los Angeles County Public Health Director Barbara Ferrer is the Queen of Fearmongers, an appalling public health scold who still wears a performative mask at her regular press conferences about the dangers of Covid — and never seems to notice that people
Chris - I don’t really know the best forum for this comment, or who to contact but I’ve been thinking about how to expand reach of substackers with paid content without making it prohibitively expensive for subscribers. I don’t know what the economics of substack is at this point. Would it make sense to bundle commentary by like minded writers into packages and sell it at a discount? Get ten for the price of six, to provide an example. Because if you want to read a bunch of stackers it may get expensive for some people. In this fashion I think substack may create a more robust economic model and reach a greater audience. Alternatively create a supplemental substack webpage with selected content like a homepage , not all if a creator’s content, and let people access that sampling for a smaller fee and get a taste of the various offerings. Just spitballing.
I am second to no one in my loathing of the mendacious ghoul Barbara Ferrer, who combines all the worst qualities of your standard totalitarian commissar, that being stupidity, malice, unearned imperiousness, and an ability to lie even when the contradictory facts are looking her in the face...that being said, Barbara could not have caused so much pain and misery if not for the absolute cowardice and moral abdication of 1) our actual elected leaders, who pawned all their responsibilities onto her, because they were too afraid to think for themselves or stand up to anyone who shrieked "Granny killer!" (any display of integrity could be fatal for their careers); and of course 2) our completely cowed and demoralized populace (parents esp), who stood around dumbly as the govt slapped masks onto their toddlers or roped off our parks and beaches or destroyed our small businesses etc.
It takes two to tango (or in this case 3): our elite class and their political puppets, as well as their voters, have entered into a shared state of learned helplessness, where waves of dogma pour out of their screens and into their brains, which they are powerless to resist.
None of this would have happened, and Barbara Ferrer would have been sent back to her crypt to molder, if we lived in a state led by adults willing to think for themselves and accept responsibility.
she looks like the crypt keeper from tales from the crypt. imagine finding the least healthy looking person imaginable to front your city's public health function.
Consider donating even if you have nothing to do with L.A. County. A court order rejecting what's happened there would have knock-on impacts across the country.
I remember this THING. I just look at her and listen to what spews out of her pie hole, and I know she knows nothing about health! She needs a damn steak!
I want to donate. However, I won't use PayPal if I have to create an account, which is what it looked like I had to do. Is sending a check a possibility?
I just contributed. I NEVER want to see a mask on a child again.
It is visceral disgust to me and brings me nothing but sorrow to see the littles ones depersoned by cowardly adults!

Mask or no mask, she looks like an undead ghoul from one of my kids’ video games. She looks better with the mask on.
Done. May she be as successful as Bobbie Cox.
contributed based on you having done the same. Saves me having to vet...
Donated and subscribed!

Is Ferrer the lady with the purse, turning away from the camera and looking at that old emaciated hippie dude?

Wow, Lindsey Buckingham is looking good these days.
