I am very much in favor of the "baby and bathwater" approach when it comes to our institutions, there's really no reason to spare them in the arduous task of restoring the rule of law.

It's a lot easier to build new schools, hospitals and regulatory agencies than starting everything from scratch.

I think it should be emphasized that this is a loss however. "We the people" absolutely had an opportunity to say "No! No further!". Other's may draw the line differently, but in my opinion anyone who has remained silent until this vote has effectively missed the last call for redemption. Anyone in a position to act has absolutely condemned themselves.

A fair amount of non-experts share the blame. One can be forgiven for not understanding complicated issues immediately, but refusing to examine a rising tide in society isn't something I'm willing to excuse at this rate. Nobody can say "we weren't warned" everyone was warned, it just fell on stubborn arrogant ears.

Well said. I'm hoping this monstrous decision by the CDC leads to a Great Reckoning in 2023 - even if my version of it is a bit of a farce...
