If you look at agency budgets you’d think our money would’ve bought a better plan.

It’s all trade offs, there isn’t an objectively better plan.

The US for example encouraged but didn’t mandate the general public get vaccinated. It’s easy to say that’s the wrong choice, but people would have seriously objected.

People did seriously object, lost their jobs, and lost their faith in the system so much that a recession follows sooner than that those now unemployed try again to be humanized.

Are you saying people objected to something that didn’t happen?
