> The idea the governor of a $222 billion budget can’t get some masks is a bit absurd

The federal government just passed a $2 trillion stimulus package. And they’re thinking of doing another one.

And in addition to the power to print money, it can also order private industries to manufacture masks, tests, vaccines, ventilators, even tp

And it still can’t get the job done.

There are not enough masks or tests

Maybe Tim Cook should run for Governor. Cook knows how to get stuff done, and he has no legal powers whatsoever compared to the Governor.

The federal government can order ventilators, but you need the part.

It can also order or overpay for the creation of a successful vaccine, but you need data and time to see if it works.
