Money worshipping scum. They don't need ovens and gas chambers. They just spew carcinogenic and general biohazard shit into the air, land, and water then tell us there's no $. We spent it bombing Afghanis and Iraqis even though we can't tell who are friends and who are foe.

In fiscal year 2018, he (Dr. Thomas Thrush) reviewed — on average — one case every 12 minutes.

Thrush’s productivity has paid off. He earned $420,000 for reviewing the applications of 9,088 Tennesseans applying for disability during the year ending June 30. He has made more than $2.2 million since 2013.

On average, 80 percent of the cases he reviewed were denied.

He's a cocaine addict, and was busted, TWICE for it.

No wonder he was so fast.

Would you trust a doctor like that? I sure as hell wouldn't.
