In this post I’ll be using the article, “Playing favorites? Hospital boards, donors get COVID shots” by  Russ Bynum, Michelle R. Smith and Rachel La Corte. This will be a text to world. In this article, it talks about how when Covid-19 broke out, that hospital board members, donors and trustees had early access to the vaccines. In summary of what the article talks about, “It’s a reminder that if you’re rich, well-connected and know how to work the system, you can get access that others can’t,” Caplan said. “Here it is, right in our face, when it comes to vaccinations.” I would like to relate to how rich people or anyone connected to bigger people gets advantages that others can’t get in another real world situation. For example, what happened during the past couple of months of how Trump was going to do tax cuts for the rich and how it may affect those that aren’t as rich and it’ll on be beneficial for the rich. Trump’s tax cuts only will be in affect for billionaires and yes there’s not a lot of them, but the principle behind it is that it’s not helping the American people or those that need that the most. In comparison to article, those that are rich and that are connected to someone of higher power gets these advantages that most can’t and can affect the livelihood of others because they aren’t billionaires. So, it’s pretty normal for people to that are rich or that have connections to have better advantages than those that need it most.
