    yep

    "what do you mean you can't just pay private corporations to solve problems and then just sit back it's always worked for everything else?"

    this is good too:

    "Over the summer, Abbott Laboratories — the largest manufacturer of at-home rapid tests in the US — actually started destroying some of its test inventory because it did not anticipate a market for those tests and the government had not bought the excess supply. This meant that when omicron start to spread, there was not a stockpile of masks or tests to distribute to people quickly."
