That last bit can apply to the Covid situation as well. How many lives have been lost due to the poor handling of this pandemic? I give our gummint a solid D in their application of the vaccine. An F in the less than timely aplication of any action (I had contracted Covid before any of you heard about it, and I didn't leave the town I live in). For the mandates? Kicked out of school altogether.
I have some serious trust issues brought on by a lifetime of watching this crap. (Where's the poop emoji?)
