I understand the ostensible purpose of the lobbying layer, I understand that it's tremendously expensive to lobby the SFBA or CA broadly to do *anything,* I like your stated mission. But god damn I'm tired of seeing this article purposely misread in this fashion.

I agree that Marc is unlikely to support such advocacy efforts, which is why I think he will fail. Extra mask manufacturing capacity would not have made up for the lack of competent state capacity to address a public health crisis. The main problems are cultural and political.
