Our US government is learning

Featured Replies

I am so glad to see it because learning is good!   Yes, our government is learning how to manage us.  Read on, and see if you can guess from whom they are learning.

 

A letter arrived today from  USEmbassy,Bangkok, Charge d'Affaires Michael G. Heath, grandly announcing

  • "The Biden-Harris Administration has embarked on a global effort to address this pandemic by sharing 80 million vaccine doses worldwide by the end of June and 500 million more in the coming year."

Right! When you manage people, always start with the grand announcement, then let the reality sort of sneak in later, hopefully unnoticed.  Reality is that the distribution will be, among other things, "equitable" , and "equitable" means none of us are getting a single one of those 500 million doses..  That sounds equitable, doesn't it.

He ought to be ashamed of himself but I doubt that he is. It would have been at least honest just to send us a meme of the state department throwing vaccine seeking expats under a songthaew because that's what they've done.
