I posted much more here on the Massachusetts/Patriots/China run/Fed interdiction story

Strikes me as a grand cat and mouse game right now and I am not sure who these "Feds" are and whose instructions they are following.

I think it behooves for some journos to really figure out who these Feds are. They might be civil servants following traditional protocol which liberals might traditionally support, or they might be Trumpies or they might be Jared, etc.

Doesn't help the situation for liberals to be arguing they want to see the Federal government choosing who gets what, via National Defense Act so that states aren't competing for each other UNTIL one knows who these Feds are and under whose directions they are under!

Strikes me from what I hear Cuomo say in press conferences that among the smart governors, they've got a little group going and are doing the best they can to ration. I.E., I got the crisis now, send me the stuff and the people, and then we'll pay back in kind once we've had the flattening.

Right now without knowing who is directing the fed actions, betting on my life, I'm going with the smart governors doing a decent job of working these problems out within their little Mafia-like cartel.

I do see irony here, right now this is actually the local governing over Federal governing model traditionally favored by Republicans. Cannot have cake and eat it too. I'm with the governors, particularly the blue state ones for now. So some prices go wack, so what, small price to pay, it's an emergency.
