But at the same time, it seems pretty cynical to see another country doing objectively better at managing an emergency, and be so dismissive.
My reaction, at least, was to be curious what they’re doing better, and why, and what constructive takeaways we might be able to learn from it.
But to look at the other side of the coin DC flipped: is the Merican style bureaucracy, however one might describe it, worth the trade-offs?
What’s different between ours and theirs?
I just don't think I would be willing to accept the trade-off of effectiveness and efficiency in this instance for the same in all other instances.
