There of course is the obvious here. The Democrat party really screwed the pooch on COVID. Dems in power at all levels failed. Trump did majorly screw up at the start by doing the original lockdown. It’s the only thing he did that actually pissed me off. He listened to the experts who turned out to be idiots. Should have followed his gut.

The big learning? When thousands of very smart people say “You can’t just shut down an economy without huge consequences” we need to listen. Yes, people may die from the virus. And guess what? They died no matter what we did. Hundreds of countries doing different things and not a lot of variability in outcome. It’s a fact of life that a new virus will emerge every so often and thin the herd. It’s a hard cold truth.

Remember Reagan’s quip “The nine most terrifying words in the English language are ‘I’m from the government and I’m here to help.’” One couldn’t sum up the experience of COVID any better. I also can’t think of a better reason to support the Libertarian party.
