"Hands off 'our' stockpile" - Jared Kushner's Message to America

This morning on Twitter, Washington Post reporter Aaron Blake offered these "before and after" screen shots from the Department of Health and Human Services website.

The first is before Jared Kushner took the mic at the Coronavirus Briefing yesterday and the second is after. They represent a striking, stunning and significant shift of the federal government policy from "ensuring that the right medicines and supplies get to those who need them most" to providing "a short-term stopgap buffer" -- putting federal policy in alignment with Mr. Kushner's assertion that:
"The notion of the federal stockpile was it's supposed to be our stockpile. It's not supposed to be states' stockpiles that they then use."





Can I just ask: WTF does that even MEAN???

Who is the "our" in "our stockpile" ... and if "the states" aren't supposed to use it who is? Jared, Ivanka & fam?

Seriously. Anybody? Buehler??? I just can't even.

If having Jared Kushner rewrite our public health policy isn't jumping the shark then there is no shark.

Thanks for letting me vent.
