Those problems persist to this day. Just like how Trump (didn’t) delt with COVID.

“The economy” took precedence over peoples’ health, even though peoples’ activity makes the economy… By allowing so many to die, the US’ economy will produce far less than it would have for decades to come. They failed even at the direct goal they were aiming for…

The short-sightedness is the problem. People who think they even can defocus on any goal are only succeeding in deluding themselves.
