Re: I don't like Trump
That’s more than a little disingenuous. Those are also the states with the biggest cities. Not that you’re wrong, but it’s not enough to show causation.

Well ... Houston and Phoenix are #4 and #5 largest cities in America, dude. Where's Texas and Arizona?SuburbanFarmer wrote: ↑Mon Apr 27, 2020 9:41 amThat’s more than a little disingenuous.

And you're saying I'm more disingenuous than the folks assigning one man all the responsibility for the COVID-19 response of every federal agency and state government?
No.
I think the disingenuous award belongs to the other team, not me.

I can’t elect the heads of the various depts and cabinet posts. I can only elect the guy that appoints them.DBTrek wrote: ↑Mon Apr 27, 2020 9:47 amWell ...

If he’s not responsible for that, then to whom shall I direct my wroth?

Re: I don't like Trump
Bureaucracy is the issue here, not the appointer of the bureaucrats. Bureaucracy is a system, not a person. Having a different President appointing different heads of these bureaucracies won't change anything other than what wedge-issue they talk about.SuburbanFarmer wrote: ↑Mon Apr 27, 2020 9:51 amI can’t elect the heads of the various depts and cabinet posts.

Re: I don't like Trump
Why punish the leader of the Federation of 50 states when 40 of them haven't even seen 1000 deaths. Seems like your anger should be directed at the response of those top ten states, including Florida, with your post-lockdown beach paties.SuburbanFarmer wrote: ↑Mon Apr 27, 2020 9:51 amI can’t elect the heads of the various depts and cabinet posts.

Or... you can be extremely simple in you approach and say "Who cares if NY is assuming their death count and packing COVID-19 patients into nursing homes. Who cares if Florida is partying on the beaches and mass-spreading COVID to the rest of the nation. This is all one guy's fault - Trump!"
Yet somehow ... my own state ... home of the first detected COVID-19 case in America, isn't on the top 10 death list.
I guess Trump is responsible for that too, eh?

The bureaucracy that said "stop misappropriating federal funds for unintended uses"?SuburbanFarmer wrote: ↑Mon Apr 27, 2020 9:58 amAnd who would have the authority to change that beaurocracy?
That's the change you want to make?
Have you spent even a millisecond considering that position?

Really, the only thing that can change bureaucracy is the vox populi, but good luck getting the public to agree on anything. Until we have common ground about the foundational ideas driving actions our nation takes, we're in gridlock until the muskets come out, fam.

Those are also serious issues. But they wouldn’t have arisen, had we shut down travel and unnecessary business sooner.DBTrek wrote: ↑Mon Apr 27, 2020 9:58 amWhy punish the leader of the Federation of 50 states when 40 of them haven't even seen 1000 deaths.

Or not destroyed the national testing initiative with fuck-baggery.
