First - Fact check is it is TRUE the Obama administration never ordered the N95 stock replenished.
Lib on Facebook saying "Doesn't matter - Trump had 3 years to buy new ones. He didn't do it."
Was it the lack of budgets? Do we have Paul Ryan to thank for this? I want to dunk on him so fucking hard for this.
Advice much appreciated.
This is the logic the dems and whomever they elect as captain hindsight is going to use in their 9/11 Corona report. Trump and his administration have 10001 iteams on the agenda they need to go over everyday to keep America/Americans functioning and safe, but because he didnt relase that he had to restock face masks after Obama took them all they will attack him for it.
I use to work in a kitchen. If I reached down to grab nore onions and there weren't any left thats not my fault. It's the guy who used the last of them and didnt cut anymore. That said, in that situation you just make it your job to get onions
Love this analogy
ask the lib how many masks he/she bought in the last 3 years and if none, why not?
I keep pointing to Crimson Contagion and the Dec 3rd briefing.
AFAICT, the Trump administration ran this exercise to identify what was needed.
Ironically, they briefed congress on it the day before they impeached the President.
It was most likely an oversight. With that being said look at how hard the liberals are hindering his efforts to fill up other strategic stock piles like our oil reserves. It seems like one party learned the importance of buying when it seems like it is not needed, while the other is REEEEEing that it’s not important at the moment
My dad is a surgeon and he wears a mask when drilling into someone’s skull (obviously), but he does it to prevent pathogens from his nose and mouth contaminating a laceration and causing infection. He tells me the masks do nothing to protect him from being contaminated by the patient.
That was where I was leaning.
They expect him to have the foresight and omniscience of a god but to be fair we all do cause he’s raised the expectations so high
I asked “so Trump’s lack of precognition disqualifies him in your opinion.”
Interesting, that means in 2012 he voted for an under qualified candidate.
I feel like these quotes are relevant in this situation:
“In the beginning of the malady it is easy to cure but difficult to detect, but in the course of time, not having been either detected or treated in the beginning, it becomes easy to detect but difficult to cure. Thus it happens in affairs of state, for when the evils that arise have been foreseen (which it is only given to a wise man to see), they can be quickly redressed, but when, through not having been foreseen, they have been permitted to grow in a way that every one can see them, there is no longer a remedy.” -Niccolo Machiavelli
“We are at war with a hidden enemy” -Donald J. Trump
So I had a libtard ask me why Trump didnt prepare.
His fault, people are dying because of him, they said.
I sent them an article from WaPo (because unless it was alefty source they wouldnt read it) about Cuomo not buying ventilators in 2015 when his experts told him to.
I said, "what about this?"
He responded "hindsight is 2020".
So as you notice, with all the TDS Trump Hate Zombie Army foot soldiers, anything anyone else ever does is forgivable, because lets face it the govt doing anything is always more likely to be a clusterfuck than not, but its a different story when Trump does the same thing.
The media has sent these people insane.
And yes, to address OP point, the ENTIRE reason we are about to hit a great depression is because of the lack of PPE planning and the massive efforts of the media to overblow every aspect of this very real health crisis.
Had Obama just restocked PPEs to a level where all Americans could be issued them in a predictable pandemic, we would be fine and no shutdowns would be needed - just look at how Taiwan handled CV.
Instead, the govt couldnt just TELL people that we are fucked until retooling and production could ramp of masks, which WILL take weeks - first the healthcare workers have to have plenty, THEN the public. We will get there, but it doesnt happen overnight. Thanks, Obama.
They had to give us public the "busy work" of this "social distancing" bullshit, along with the depression-inducing forced lockdowns that arent effective anyway SINCE FUCKING PEOPLE STILL NEED TO GO TO THE GROCERY STORE, GAS STATION, ETC...
You watch, as soon as production ramps enough the CDC will magically adjust their "guidelines" and mandate mask wearing in public. NO FUCKING SHIT
Of course, by then we will be at 40% unemployment, but what do the academics and politicians care, they all have jobs and benes.
You can tell em GEOTUS inherited an America with 2000 cracks in the dam, and enough concrete to fill 1000 of them, but every time water leaks from somewhere, its his fault he didn't fill the fucking crack, are you effing kidding me...
or sumtin like that.
