Something to remember for whoever thinks the government needs more power in time of crisis.

  What new power(s) are enabling the current administration to do this that previous administrations didn't have?

    I think OP was saying don't let another Patriot Act happen in the wake of all of this (my interpretation).
    • CharlesW 7y ago
      Ah, I thought OP had something specific in mind for this case. Thanks for connecting that for me instead of just downvoting.

  Or the need for a working supply chain. It's a dysfunction on a couple of levels here, not just in the power of the government - if it was able and willing to provide supply this wouldn't be an issue at all. Instead hospitals are scrounging on their own.

  It's not really about "power" as a one-axis variable; I don't see even the most anti-government people in the US campaigning to reduce the government's nuclear weapons stockpile, and you don't get much more power than that. It's about power without accountability.
