The former Director of the Office of National Drug Control Policy (Drug Czar) under late President George H.W. Bush had some pretty explosive things to say about how data models and the reaction to COVID-19 have affected Americans and the economy.

He was so successful with that whole drug thing, wasn’t he?
Bill, why don’t you go take a few more spins at the roulette wheel and then go lecture someone about virtue. You might even give them a copy of your book to read.

Recall you said all sorts of wonderful things would happen.
Guess it’s a matter of definition.
He was so successful with that whole drug thing, wasnt he?
Actually Yes he was, Drugs are more plentiful now than ever before, they are cheaper, stronger, in greater variety, and it allowed the Government to Expand it’s powers and usurp more rights and liberties from the Citizenry, in the name of “protecting them”, than any other program ever. Just look at the unbridled Police Power the State has now.
No ‘spit’, Sherlock
Ya think?
“Man, you have an attitude....”
Leave me alone.
Yessir.
Oh come on Bill. You are brighter than that. You cannot project from what happened with full-on mitigation to what would have happened had we not engaged in mitigation.
