Schools, Texas, and Cuomo We have an innate ability to blame.....as oppose to dealing with the cause. There is no time at which we can declare a return to normalcy.. Return to normalcy has always been a factor of CONTOLLING the virus.. Not solving the virus. Our government today is at a point where we are controlling the virus.. that doesn't mean we can stop doing what we are now doing... but we can begin to open with those thing that have the LEAST effect of spreading the virus..and the greatest effect on a return to n normalcy.. Opening schools back to a degree of normalcy does that..It's sets us up for a return to normalcy It is entirely improbable that the opening of schools can offset the current mitigation of the virus.. In Texas, the adverse effect of the cold..doesn't negate the system..It negates the lack of preparedness and foresight.. In which they will incur a $ to government and indirectly a $ to consumers. Texas, in their system, provide the least $ to consumers. Choices of energy that provide the least $ .. and the ability to switch type of energies in that regard.. and that became the singular factor for the lack of preparedness, and the lack of backup and reserves.. .. this is not a failure of production. It's a failure of policy..Similarly, in other things, our lack of preparedness the federal government is a failure of policy in lieu of the $ . The entire pandemic is a failure of preparedness.. that is a failure of policy Cuomo is the most telling example, of what we do.. in not dealing with the cause, not dealing with the time, not dealing with the preparedness... If one can remember the time when medical care was rationed. when decisions about that HAD to be made.. It was apparent that people who had little chance to survive were sacrificed for people who has the better chance.. This is NOT a decision anybody wanted to make... but it was apparent to be the lesser of two evils. Cuomo was making life or death decisions, it wasn't his place to do so, but was his duty.. The dam was overflowing and was going to burst..Cuomo released some of the water to hold the dam together.. Our healthcare system was at that point.. Now when the circumstances no longer exist .. hindsight has to blame someone. Someone who didn't make the 'right' decision.. but had to make the ONLY decision. Cuomo could not be transparent while it was happening.. Not if it was your parents or grandparent that we being sent back to die. For Cuomo it wasn't the choice he wanted to make... it was a choice he HAD to make, given the time and circumstances. How easily we forget....how easily we choose to blame.. How easily we ignore the CAUSE... How we let those that caused the circumstance to go free, and those that were stuck with the no-win circumstance to be blamed. Shame on Democrats that don't understand this. |

We really haven't changed that much.. policy and cost have always battled.. But now the partisanship of policy is entrenched.. In the past, at time of crisis, we were able to disregard policy and do what had to be done. No so anymore. What more do we need to know about climate change crisis? Is it not "bad" enough YET? What more do we need to know about policy and costs? What more do we need to know about.. doing what HAS to be done and What in actuality has Made America Great. We once knew, as a country, what HAD to get done....
