Many ambulances are parked because drivers can’t find gas. Pharmacies are largely empty because the virtually bankrupt state is struggling to buy medicine.
Production of medicine has been mostly halted because factories run on diesel. Vaccine makers are searching for ingredients because flights that once carried them are canceled because of a lack of jet fuel. And refrigerated vaccine stocks could soon spoil if the blackouts continue.
it wasn’t for the citizens and never will. if that plays well, is going to be a huge win for marco rubio on the next presidential election
That has nothing to do with state borders. The electoral college is a fucked system and FPtP voting is dumb AF. What’s your alternative to states that you think would make the US a better place?
and anyway the US is involved do you like or not, it sucks but it is what it is
