The hapless federal government, led by non-leaders, does not know what it’s doing, and they refuse to take even the most basic steps to protect us. It is a no-brainer to restrict travel from West African countries with the disease, yet we continue to get hot air, rationalizations and no action. The politically correct DoD appointees tell us climate change is the biggest threat while ISIS surrounds Baghdad … WTF?? The CDC tell us no problem, follow the “protocols” that exist on paper but not in practice, and then blame the nurse. Anyone who has any experience in large organizations (military, business etc) KNOWS that people never get it right the right time. Exception processing (ie doing something new) always requires time, training and leadership to get it right.
Yet, the people running the show fiddle away disengaged while Rome is now beginning to show signs of smoke. I think there is a building, slow-motion fury amongst the populace nationwide that will surprise people when it is finally uncorked. When people lose trust and feel unsafe, and as one example, they will throw out the entire elected and appointed leadership at the ballot box. They will keep doing it until they finally find leaders who will listen to our concerns and do the right thing. The single, most basic function of government is to protect the people from harm and, as of today, they are simply not cutting the mustard.
Is anyone in Washington DC truly paying attention to our concerns?
