Biden didn’t do enough but the states didn’t want the federal government involved. He offered compensation up to $28,000 per farm and to pay for any milk they had to dispose of if the virus was found in any of it. In the first half of 2024, Texas and a few other states were fighting to keep the CDC out of it. It was something like $100,000,000 dollars the CDC was allowed to track and try to mitigate the spread. I remember seeing it because I have chickens and wasnt sure how exactly it would evolve or transfer as my chickens walked free everywhere they wanted.
States would have freaked if Biden called a state of emergency and used an executive order to allow the CDC access to it all without restrictions, but he probably should have done it anyways.
So, not a whole lot. And, the people freaking out would most likely be republicans anyway… so all I’m hearing is “republicans are at fault”
The fact that Texas (where the first cases were reported) and many other states think infectious diseases should be political talking points to argue about is what’s dumb to me. The CDC was created to be an organization separate from party bullshit. The CDC should study such outside of the executive branch. Then again most organizations created by congress should exist outside of the executive branches jurisdiction, because as we’ve learned from how stupid we are here in America, if the executive branch has a say in it, then they will turn people against each other for populist reasons whether or not they are good for the population.
Well, the media is to blame here. They love to stoke that fire.
Which they need to do in order to create capital to stay afloat. Blame money
Oh yeah greed is the reason for everything bad. If we solved greed there would be an instant global utopia. We just need some kind of drug that causes nausea when a person has greedy thoughts.
…sure
When isn’t an easily foreseeable disaster not the republicans fault?
