So he basically said he would properly do his job.

Well that would be a welcome change.

Really Sad during a pandemic because the people with no insurance get screwed first...and we have millions of people scared to go into debt for hospital bills.
The Dems/Obama didn't bail out Solyndra, green energy companies, the banks and the auto industry? Jimmy Carter and Chrysler?

Its a problem for Dems AND Republicans, sorry.

Yeah, Socialism really works well in a pandemic crisis Socialism caused this entire mess.

If you like Socialism so much, you are free to leave at any time for North Korea, Cuba, China, Russia, take your pick, but don't try to shove this failed crap onto our Constitutional Republic. We REJECT it!
China isn’t socialist. China is mafia-capitalist.

Chinese workers certainly don’t own the means of production. They have even fewer rights than American workers.

Now, keep in mind that the FDA finally relenting on letting private labs do their own research has resulted in the Cleveland Clinic already developing a test WITHOUT the government funding them to do so. This is an important thing to either forget or do mental gymnastics until you can somehow equate government getting out of the way with government being the solution.

So one of us (AnCaps) are supposed to offer up a theory and then get clowned by all the people who think only government can do a thing.

Same thing.

Not a whole lot of difference there.
Yep, authoritarianism makes pandemics worse in terms of hiding info whether right-wing or left-wing. But can be good for take extreme measures to quarantine and restrict movement to contain outbreak.

You might wish to look up "Socialism" and "Communism" and which Nations practice which style of governing.

Thats less about socialism and more about leaders that care more about their image than their people. Which can happen in any type of government...

I don’t even want a purely socialist government.
