I just wish there was a single cabinet member who hadn't completely lost the plot this time around.

In all fairness, there are a lot of words on that list that I primarily hear coming from republicans/conservatives. Most are descriptive words, used once to get the point across, then moved on from. It's the right that obsesses over them.

The "lists" for kits have both gotten better and worse over time. But I wouldn't say any of them are great.

It's the lack of any kind of follow-up or explanation as to why you should do those things that bothers me most.

I think what bothers me most is how it always seems so superficial and never bothers to explain WHY those things would be important. I mean, how hard would it be to get some sort of testimonial from people who actually followed the advice?

Heck yeah, you can hire us to come in and pretend like we're actually checking things out. Then we'll make a fancy PowerPoint about how your company is doing amazing. We can even put it into a report with a nice cover. I don't see how this could possibly fail.

They wouldn't be very good consultants if they told you everything was great. Although you may have just given me an idea for a business model.

These are the descendants of the people you see smiling in any school integration photo from the 50s and 60s. Shame is simply not an emotion they are capable of.

Maybe I'm thinking wrong here, but I feel like an ideal public health and a healthy America are two different ideas at this point. That being said, I would put something in the framework where states cannot steal the funds meant for local public health.
