From the inestimable Paul Krugman:
"I was originally going to end this post by saying something about stupidity, but that’s not right: the people at
the BIS [Alameda Hospital] aren’t stupid. What’s going on here is something different and worse: we’re seeing the desire for conventional respectability outweighing the lessons of history; we’re seeing vague prejudice (prejudice that just so happens to serve the interests of
rentiers [the political clique that runs Alameda]) trumping analysis."
