>US trying to unsuccessfully hoard supplies, issues with the German testing company
This is bullshit. At least three of those stories have been quietly retracted. Also you're damn right US should be putting itselt first when in crisis.
This has also confirmed the true colors of the media - hypocrites who spent months comparing COVID to the flu and yelling "sinophobia!" For closing the border, before turning on a dime to shit on the president for not being prepared.
>When times are great -> Globalism
>When times are tough -> Isolation and tribalism
When times are great, people become naive and forget that we live in a world with scarce resources and different cultures. When times are tough we are suddenly reminded of the way things actually are, that life is not the utopian vision that some people seem to think.
- JoeAltmaier 7y agoYeah being President sucks. Supposed to be well-informed and make correct decisions, not rely on journalist's whining to create policy and take action. But so much easier to just issue sound-bytes and respond to whatever is the issue of the day.
- twomoretime 7y agoEverybody screwed up. But journalists have a serious problem with exaggerating and outright falsifying controversies when their party is out of office. That doesn't excuse the actions of Republican party members but it does destroy the credibility of the journalistic establishment. Which has devolved into a total cash grabbing, activist joke. And this happened before Trump.
- JoeAltmaier 7y agoAgreed. Sometime after web publishing became a thing, and Editors left the equation.
