People Can’t Find Covid Tests. Biden’s Response: ‘Google it’.
The lack of leadership is astounding.
We’re rapidly approaching and heading into the third year of dealing with the coronavirus pandemic. Three years of witnessing firsthand how this virus is not only robbing us of so much that makes up the human experience, like traveling, concerts, or even just sitting down with extended family or friends for some pizza, beer, and laughs on a Friday night. It’s been lingering in the back of my mind a lot lately that so much of the past three years of my life have been robbed from me, from all of us, and the death and growing economic despair has only continued to weigh heavier on my conscience.
Of course, it’s difficult to deny that the complete and utter failure of our government to do what’s necessary to keep the American people safe and secure during this pandemic has been a massive factor in the collective trauma that so many of us have felt at some point over the past going on three years. In fact, those of us on the left have made the difficult to deny point that the trauma of the first year of the pandemic was arguably the key factor in President Biden’s electoral victory over Trump.
Unfortunately Biden’s response to covid has been mediocre at best, and that’s putting it mildly.
