After reading your article on VaccinateCA, I walked away with a strong impression that "americans got the government they deserve". What's your thought on this?

to actions which are in our locus of control and +EV in terms of impacts which
are relevant to our moral calculi, like (as a not entirely random example)
starting a crash effort to fix the government's manifest failure to act
effectively during a pandemic with the goal of saving lives.
I am also extremely skeptical of desert narratives generally, but the above
seems like a sufficient reason to reprogram oneself to not weight them highly.
