I have been beside myself with puzzlement that Democrats, so aligned with Hollywood, have not been running PSAs non stop throughout the last year w celebrities (who’d surely do them for free) abt vaccines, masks, how to get & use home tests etc. Truly bizzare.

Dolly Parton did her own vaccine video. Why isn’t the US govt asking “unifying” figures everyone loves like Dolly or Tom Hanks or Garth Brooks to do PSAs? Why aren’t they asking George W. Bush and Bill Clinton , a member of the Yankees and of the Red Sox to do them together?

I guess it is an example, as some writer put it, of the Dems “deferring to private industry in matters of state responsibility” in their pandemic response. They’ve outsourced producing PSAs to social media crowdsourcing @familyunequal! theguardian.com/us-news/2022/j…

I’ve long disliked the Dem’s political substance. But they are getting increasingly worse at even communicating about that dodgy political substance!

There is more messaging about *the census* every ten years than there have been about how to wear a mask or take a home test. Eric Adams did the first home test video I’ve seen. (There no videos for how to get your free masks bc there aren’t any.)

My BFF @ryanlraffaelli and I grew up to and still listen to 1940s radio. The ads are all for cigarettes lol or crooners hawking war bonds or how to use your ration book. Ration books—ppl were not all individual consumers, the govt rationed enuf out so everyone would have enough.
