Government is usually part of the problem, not part of the solution.

But DHS knows climate change is an urgent threat!

That and raiding stores for gray market panties.

Remind me again why we need Homeland Security.

Their NFL counterfeit merchandise detection gear is AAA+, though.

This isn't rocket science.

1) Lay out the criteria for choosing drugs to buy.
2) Convene regular meetings to review possible purchases ("Which drugs meet our criteria?").
3) Document decisions to either purchase or not purchase.
4) Establish an inventory tracking system.
5) Perform periodic audits to either identify losses, or to recommend re-purchasing to replace expired items.

Standard activity. Very standard. Absolutely expected in any government effort.

And, No, the government almost never actually does any of that stuff. It's on the books -- they are mandated to basically follow those steps. And they just don't.

Not a loss. The US/Nazi government wouldn’t have let the peasants have access to protective gear. Maybe the useful idiots working for the US/Nazi government will wake up and realize that their masters won’t protect them when they go round up the infectious cases.

DHS has been so busy protecting Obola and Obolacare that it has overlooked much of what they are supposed to be doing in the first place.

Where is the Charter for the formation of DHS? What is their purpose? I could add more but you get the picture!

Everyone from the government to hospitals have been saying they were ready for the big ones, for decades, this time it better take, because if this had been a serious bio attack, by now we would be facing a national nightmare with our cities in chaos.

As this goes on we need to reinforce the political position of greater national preparedness in all areas and how this episode is revealing massive weakness on National Security threats, we need a Civil Defense/national preparedness revival.

“Government is usually part of the problem...”

The regulations on expired meds was explained in some thread awhile ago - it is a lot of paperwork and experimenting to verify that it will last 10 years, so they just put a couple of years on the package and be done with it. With only a few exceptions, all medicine is safe to take past the expiration date. Most of it is still 90% effective (100 mg of something might only be a 90mg effective dose).

And alcholol hand sanitizer expired? I doubt it.

Has anyone checked the expiration date on their Common Sense. I think someone should check that, because I swear it seems like that expired more than two decades ago.
