The US will kick into gear at certain emergency times (WW2, Covid, etc) but not so great outside of then.

- ryandrake 11mo agoI don't see how the US's feeble and lackluster response to COVID counted as "kicking into gear".
- zeroonetwothree 11mo agoWe developed vaccines in record time, saving millions of lives. If that’s “feeble” then I guess I’ll take it every time.
- softwaredoug 11mo agoWe put massive public funding into vaccine. We also seemed to fund healthcare a great deal (now being pulled back as ACA subsidies expire). Covid was the basis for a lot of short term emergency measures in early Biden, even late Trump I, admins.
