There were stockpiles of supplies in Puerto Rico, too, but that didn't mean it was successfully distributed to the people who needed it.[1] Is there a secret plan for disbursing this stockpile to 300+ million Americans? If so, why wasn't that plan utilized in PR? [1] https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/puerto-rico-fires-em...

The article had specific criticisms about the actions of a new administration. Do you have any specific issues with those criticisms or do you think administrations should be immune from criticism? Every new admin has it's own priorities.
The entire analysis starts from the assumption that any administration goal is inherently either a fabrication or misguided. "efficiencies" is clearly just code word for destroying all things good, obviously, and totally not worth even considering whether there is any meaning to the idea. I mean, if Trump wants it, it must be bad amirite? Occasionally, they quote folks, like Irwin Redlener, director of the National C…
i.e Basically, "Hey democrats, if you want more funds to fight pandemics to stop us all from dying, you gotta give us something else, like even bigger increases to the military budget and Space Force, or even more tax cuts to companies".
There used to be a pandemic specialist on the National Security Council, that position has been cut. Not to mention other positions.

Can you address these facts from Trump's perspective instead of just taking cheap shots at the media?
Why do we still have paywalled articles on the first page?

Trump's budget proposals always include big cuts to CDC's budget. After recent criticism of this, the administration said it is just a negotiation opening tactic. i.e Basically, "Hey democrats, if you want more funds to fight pandemics to stop us all from dying, you gotta give us something else, like even bigger increases to the military budget and Space Force, or even more tax cuts to companies".

Wasting karma trying to respond to every Orange Man Bad that someone can dream up is not a particularly good use of my energy. Go on believing he is the most evil man in all of human history of you like.

I mean america is a Federation not a centralized country. There are rarely federal plans that are not somewhat affected by the state or territory that plan is for.

At the federal level, republicans, and at the local level, democrats. There's plenty of blame to go around without being partisan.

That’s insane. Do you know the reasoning for wastefully leaving supplies to rot? Is it laziness? It’s one thing to keep supplies or money for yourself. But this isn’t the case here.
