"As a guy living inside the Beltway … trying to decide what to do … we weren’t really thinking about what that would mean to (a) family in Minnesota, a thousand miles away from where the virus was hitting so hard. We weren’t really considering the consequences in communities that were not New York City or some other big city."

And this encapsulates everything wrong with how Democrat politicians and many Republican politicians make policy and pass laws. No consideration for how anyone else lives anywhere outside their bubble. Which is the best argument against large central government.
