The magnitude of the incompetence is astonishing, and it's an exact correlate to how well we're now preparing for global sea level rise.
I disagree; I think the "incompetence" was entirely foreseen, and depended upon.
It's not incompetence, it's acting according to direction.
Oh, you disagree, do you!?!?
Well, I got the impression that the author of that comic book who portrayed the bureaucrats and politicians and plutocrats as being so impressively capable that they (with some special help) defeated the virus in six months expected our governing institutions to be competent. I'm guessing those who ordered and paid for that little propaganda piece felt the same way and might be a little embarrassed by now. On the other hand, those in whose name these institutions have been made impotent might be the ones to whom you refer.
Ah, but the light will eventually dispel the shadows.......as you know.
