It’s not a funding problem. It’s a lack of National policy problem. Every little fiefdom of government is creating their own covid policy. Even overlapping districts and library systems will have drastically different policies. If everyone pooled their resources outcomes would be much better but instead every organization is spending significant resources on drastically different unaligned covid policy.

Except this is exactly how nation states work...
The State Massachusetts has more people than the entire country of Norway. At the state level, scale is more than sufficient.
But the individual states don’t have cohesion either. Ever school district in the state runs a different curriculum and uses a different set of textbooks
That's true within many countries also (see: Germany, Switzerland, Australia, Canada). Different States have different ways of running their shit — some better than others...just like nation-states.
