Carter wasn't exactly great as a president... But he was dignified at least. His legacy isn't as bright as his post presidential years.... But it is light years better than that we have now
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.
i can list a bunch of bad COVID related decisions he made, sure. one of the worst imo is overseeing the CDC as it told Americans to get back to work earlier and reporting was no longer necessary, all during the pandemic still raging like it currently is.
The pandemic is not raging âcurrently.â Many hospitals still announce infections, and there many days with zero.
But, I agree COVID was mismanaged from day one. And we can blame it getting out of control on the citizens who refused to wear masks. The overwhelming majority of them are right wing.
Your fucking eyes and ears? The court granted him all this new power and he could have used it in advance to get the courts to move fast and rule on explicit things to codify it into law. But instead he just played mr nice democrat. He literally could have changed a fuckload of things to better America, in the same way Donny 2 Dolls is doing, and anything the court didnât block would have happened.
Specifically what could he have done to prevent an outbreak that hasnât happened yet? Tell me. I donât like him either but just blaming everything on him is ridiculous when we all know everything bad that happens is the right wing.
Thatâs not really an argument. What is a specific thing he could have done but did not do that would have prevented a thing that has not happened yet? I donât like Biden either, but just blaming everything on âboth sidesâ isnât gonna get us anywhere.
