The biggest issue with the current admin imo, was the pissing away of the opportunity they had to ramp up preparations during dec to feb timeframe. Also this apparent unwillingness to really utilize the dpa to the extent needed, always seems too little to late. Apparently bc of free market principles more than anything else, there are two things that trump capitalism imo, health and national defense, you don’t give up fighting a war that could result in lose of freedom cause it’s too expensive, no price is too high to ensure liberty, but our rich entitled elites seem to think that price only includes poor and working class/middle class blood, not their portfolios. Also, poor health outcomes eventually results in poor economic outcomes, unless of course, you just offshore all the labor, then to hell with regular folks ability to access quality health care, let those mutherfvckers eat cake. Not advocating for single payer necessarily, but we need massive health care reform and a drastic reduction in health care costs at every level.
