And also thought about how the cover up truly is worse than the crime. Or rather, I hate how once someone has made one bad decision (like the antivax BS) they often double down. Like now they think if they admit they were wrong it'll be the end of everything, so rather than show they actually care about American lives and doing the right thing, they double down on lies and craziness (thereby proving they really don't deserve to have power. For those paying attention to that sort of thing. Kind of makes the issue as world ending as they were afraid of, but more because they just can't change course than because of the initial mistake).
One of my commanders had a cute little anecdote that probably isn't scientifically accurate. About how lions hunt, and how the lion roaring is trying to scare you into the paws of the rest of the pride, and how it's better to face the roar.
Seems somehow pathetic that so called 'leaders' don't understand that, and will do everything they can to avoid responsibility and accountability.
Rot. I don't know how we went from "the buck stops here" to "I don't take responsibility at all" in less than a century... But the fact that people still seem to consider the latter a viable leader is... Disgusting.
