Neither agreeing nor disagreeing with your point, but deliberating over what could have been done in the past does not help solve a crisis in the present.
I very much disagree. The mistakes that were previously made (both broadly socially and specific instances, such as closing the pandemic response team and the delay in testing) were all incredibly foreseeable. I find it the height of dishonesty to say "Gosh, we had no idea what would have happened, we just have to focus on the present". Now, I don't think you're saying that, and you're right that the current situation is where we are and we should focus on what we can actually do. In the "never let a good crisis go to waste" vein, though, one thing we can actually do is make people realize that the health and well-being of your neighbors is inextricably linked to your own.
I mean today, literally, he could call Nancy Pelosi, who most certainly knows who he is and would call him back, and scream at her for the insane lack of direct federal action to help regular workers affected financially by this crisis in the bill they just passed.
If enough people like him did that to our world leaders you can be damm sure it would make a difference.
Yes of course. The government should take steps to stabilize the whole country and reduce the damage caused by mass disaster events. That’s what governments are for.
I don’t disagree, but I find your general stance of “of course my ideology is reality” totally problematic.
Edit:
To clarify there is a wide array of opinions about “what government are for” and “what governments should do” ... I think it is important to acknowledge that when expressing an opinion about what you think.
