      Even if you support the view that the "government should be run like a business" do you think "You're fired! lmao" may work only as reality-TV punchline, and not for managing the resources of a large corporation, let alone an institution as large as the government?pic.twitter.com/kc2UPSDSEJ

      By all means, criticize the CDC et al. for their response — especially testing which has been a fucking disaster. But of your criticism includes "derp government agencies derp" it may be worth remembering that chaos damage and starve the beast are both deliberate GOP tactics.

          Everything was working exactly as intended. It's just that you don't win the game of chicken with something like a virus. So now we all crash together.

          You can't seriously be asserting that's an intentional tactic *here*, tho, can you? In any event, your government structure *will* regularly be staffed by incompetent people. Designing assuming only competent people will run it is crazy.

          Starve the beast and chaos damage are both deliberate. The effects on recruitment, morale, and retention are predictable. The GOP may not want that to manifest here, but the strategy is just buckshot.
