  1. The American public has gone through 16 years of "extreme technocracy" and we're rejecting the corrupt and inept so-called "experts," who've gotten everything wrong, from economics to war & peace to nutrition and health care. We've seen how those we pay to do science end up doing politics, instead, and silencing the actual scientists. I hope that Russell Brand's message of de-centralization gets through. We can't let one dingbat official in Washington impose bad policy on all 50 states. Let us make our own mistakes. Without federal "guidance" having the functional force of law, for all 50 states, there would have been 20 states get COVID right within 2 weeks, with 30 falling in line within one month, and all but maybe California and New York getting on with their lives within 2 months. Early treatment. Preventive measures we've known for over a century. Off-the-shelf medicines that treated severe respiratory distress (HCQ). Sure, throw in the "right to try" an experimental drug if you're in a high-risk group, but mandating it for all? In the middle of a pandemic? Wrong and wrong.

  2. Yes. The entrenched bureaucracy had their knives out for Trump from the very beginning, and he and his best staffers made the fatal error of believing in the good intentions of the existing staff during the transition. They also had some bad (neocon) staffers sprinkled throughout. I hope Trump and his team learned their lesson and they go into this loaded for bear. And all he has to do to be a smashing success is to secure the border, return our foreign policy to something sane and wise. To do it right, a LOT of people need to get fired, which begs the question of "with whom shall they be replaced?"
