THE WHOLE POINT OF GOVERNMENT IS SO THOSE REGULAR PEOPLE HAVE SUPPORT
(in case that isn't /s, yeah, I'm with you) (I was quoting the funding portion. The rest of the program was talking about Seattle Flu Study's initial testing regime for covid-19, which occurred despite not having CDC/FDA approval) edit: given your response to my other post, yeah i'm guessing i read the tone of this comment wrong originally lol
I grew up watching Reagan gut the fuckin' thing. I guess... this is what we get. For forty fuckin' years. Of abject craven selfishness. I'm all about people pulling together. I still get teary over the mosque by my house that got firebombed after 9/11. Whole fuckin' neighborhood formed a circle around it. Started hanging out on the steps. Brought potted plants. For about three years you could see white guys hanging out playing chess in front of a mosque. This is what we do. But goddamn it. The government is supposed to HELP you do it, not COUNT ON YOU to do it.
