Two main factors in my mind behind our embarrassing, careless & deadly response to Covid:
- We've seen a complete lack of coordinated federal response, both epidemiological & economic. The administration's interests seem to fall in this order:
1. reelection
2a. grifting
2b. owning the blue states
end of list.
Back in January they could have told him "control the virus, get reelected". Maybe someone actually did & that criminal piece of shit just didn't listen. But a containment success was fool-proof path to electoral college reelection against a terrible candidate like Biden. Instead they didn't try...and here we are. Pelosi & Mitch are pretending to be too caught up on federal spending & the idea that people are collecting money while not working which is so ****ing galaxy brained I'll stroke out if I think about it too much.
2. Individualism, opposed to collectivism. "Me, not Us". "Masks are tyranny." It's just grotesque how selfish some people are.
This great Vanity Fair investigative article covers alot of aspects of #1, especialy in regards to the Kushner grift.

And the great governor's of NY and NJ did a great job with how nursing homes were handled, correct?
