[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m the most left leaning person out there, but I have to give props to governor Hogan. 500k test kits direct from Korea? Excellent work.[/quote]

Also, no better demonstration of the fact that the US response is a complete failure. Our access to crucial public-health resources shouldn't depend on the ethnic heritage of the spouse of the governor of the state we happen to be living in. [/quote]

ehhh...this is life. If you want to practice IP law in China, you better have a few Chinese speaking lawyers on your staff. Same for practicing in Europe. If you want to close a deal with a Korean firm overnight, I can see how pleasantries and some final cajoling in Korean would be handy.

I used to be in the Navy. When we would have a ship pull into country X for an exercise, You better believe that we had Country X speakers even if we had to borrow them from 'big' Navy. [/quote]

No, it's not life. We used to have a functional federal government. Now we have a system where 6 million of the country's 238 million residents only get enough tests because one governor happens to be married to a person who speaks Korean. That's pathetic. What an embarrassment we've become.[/quote]

Yeah, I don’t even understand prior pp’s example.  There is a big difference between having speakers on a ship (which seems like the most basic diplomacy ever) versus a state scrambling to beg for masks because the federal government has failed.  “That’s life” in Egypt or Romania or something, not how the US is supposed to be.[/quote]
