The statement is correct, but he may be way off the mark insofar as his conclusions.
The supply of PPEs was depleted after the 2009 H1N1 crisis, and never replenished. Why? Because the bureaucrats had other priorities. Like studying gender dysphoria, or shrimp running on treadmills. And hiring more people who do little work because they just have to spend every penny so they can ask for more money next year and make themselves look important.
There is a mentality across the country that is just wrong-headed. If a hospital executive purchased a bunch of PPEs and they sat in storage for years, he would be perceived as wasteful rather than proactive. He might be denied a promotion or a pay raise, or even fired. They would rather spend it on "woke" things like solar panels or new glass windows or a nice water feature in the lobby or a PR campaign targeting 'awareness' of the latest and most oppressed self-identified group of the year.
And look, an epidemic or pandemic is totally predictable. I guarantee with 100% certainty a black swan event will occur. You just can't predict when, or what type. And it is the responsibility of the alphabet swamp to be prepared for it. And I guarantee you as well that there are scores of contingency plans written by mid level earnest people who get ignored because they are not telling their supervisors what the supervisors want to hear. All this "blame Trump" is totally, completely misplaced. It is misdirection across the board from the governors to the Congress and the media. The only blame he gets from me is for taking it on faith that the alphabet swamp actually works for the interests of the country. They don't. They work for themselves, and protect themselves.
Maybe, perhaps, if the Congress and the alphabet swamp wasn't so busy burying him with treachery and hearings and subpoenas he'd have had a chance to do a deep dive into their dereliction of duty, and maybe he could have seen the depth of their depravity and wanton wastefulness. But that is the point of their constant attacks. They went after General Flynn because they didn't want him to streamline their operations. They pulled the whole Ukraine impeachment hoax because it would have revealed incredible levels of corruption at the highest of levels of government. They don't want anyone to pull the curtains back for it will reveal the waste, the corruption, the sedition and treachery that is the swamp.
I pray Trump wins another term and lets loose the dogs on the lot of them.
A most excellent post, and spot on.
