Here in the U.S., blue states will innovate and lead our way out of this pandemic.

The Californias, New Yorks and Washington states will craft the grounbreaking solutions to diagnose, confine, treat, educate, and rehabilitate.

Red states will be laggards, quietly adopting similar actions after a lot of kicking and screaming.

Oh, and fuck Jared Kushner. That asshole doesn't have an original thought in his head. Its so obvious he's desperate to be viewed as a "disruptor" like the Silicon Valley bros he wishes to emulate and be part of. All talk and branding. No action. Ever.

1. I don't 't see this as a "us" vs "them" scenario.

I see as "us who believe in science and knowledge" vs "those who have berated education and embrace ignorance".

I know what side karma will reduce

2. This reminds me of the crabs-in-a-bucket phenomena.

Crab mentality, also known as crabs in a bucket mentality, is a metaphor describing a pattern of behavior noted in crabs when they are trapped in a bucket. When any one crab reaches the top of the bucket, and could easily escape, its efforts are undermined by other crabs, by hanging onto them and dragging them back down into the bucket, thus ensuring the group's collective demise. All these red states ignoring CDC mandates will drag the rest of the country back down with them.
