"As a guy living inside the Beltway … trying to decide what to do … we weren’t really thinking about what that would mean to (a) family in Minnesota, a thousand miles away from where the virus was hitting so hard. We weren’t really considering the consequences in communities that were not New York City or some other big city."

And this encapsulates everything wrong with how Democrat politicians and many Republican politicians make policy and pass laws. No consideration for how anyone else lives anywhere outside their bubble. Which is the best argument against large central government.
Yeah, Reagan may have had sex with women tortured by the CIA as toddlers to make them mind-controlled sex slaves (Cathy O'Brien and others), and he may have let Bush turn the country into Sodom and Gomorrah, but Bush found him a good speechwriter.
Oh they consider it. They go step by step to take over rural areas such as the township I live in. 99% rural, 80% farmland. We have just found out two larger farmers have leased land totaling over a 1000 acres to solar farm construction. The township became “Solar ready” two years ago without most people’s knowledge. The solar company doing this is out of Houston, TX. It is the 3rd different company in a two township area to be selling leases for solar farms. They are paying the farmers unbelievable lease amounts, better than what they can make farming. Solar is beyond dumb in Michigan, and yet with our governor’s intervention is being pushed all over the rural areas of Michigan north of the Detroit/Grand Rapids area. These bozos may not have known but the Deep State guiding all this certainly did.
Hopefully they have read the small print on their solar agreements....in Wisconsin after a few years the land belongs to the solar "company". The land owner is responsible for the solar panels when they become defunct and the materials of said solar panels are VERY difficult to dispose of!
And what a weird bubble it is in DC. Just walk around there and, yes, judging a book by it's cover, it is easy to see that the people there are not a representation of the rest of America.
It's hard to believe that he admitted this. Is it so difficult to conceive that since you're a "federal" employee you would, by definition, be tasked with "thinking about" the entire population of the United States? If Collins wants to "think local" let him run for his county health department leadership - then he can restrict his thinking to his local community.

I always come back to "we're from the gov't and we're here to help" as the scariest phrase known.
Classic quote 😅

And then, after a hailstorm destroys their investment, they don't even say "my bad."
Because it was "the weather," you see . . .
Then they collect on their losses from their underwriters, THE TAXPAYERS.

The solar farms are sprouting up all around me in my rural county as well. Taxes are now so high farmers can’t afford to farm.
This one was hard to push the ‘like’ button on. But we all need to hear what you’re saying.
And what a weird bubble it is in DC. Just walk around there and, yes, judging a book by it's cover, it is easy to see that the people there are not a representation of the rest of America.
It truly is more akin to the Hunger Games capitol.
Thank the Good Lord!
Decentralize everything!
Does anyone really think they don't mean it when they call us "fly over country".
Excuse me this should be - Which is the best argument against a large central government
Oof. Wow, I can't believe I made that mistake. Thank you!

DC has the most myopic people on the planet. If it doesn’t happen inside the beltway it doesn’t matter. Maybe THAT’S where we should build the wall.
A pathetic apology? Very telling of their elite clueless world.
