While it's no laughing matter, I'm posting this video because the interviewee seems to so closely mimic the defensive replies, rather than solutions, or at the least, a timely, coordinated, national response by government and industry. Avoiding blame seems to have been the paramount concern by those who self-identify as leaders upon whom the public might be expected to rely.
As you watch this, see if anything truthful can be identified behind the obtuse response to questions.
Mike'itect is nobody special, judging by the amount of his life he's spent waiting in lines. He was a first generation Howdy Doody and Captain Kangaroo TV program watcher and favored the Lone Ranger, Davy Crockett, Daniel Boone and Zorro as role models in his early years.
Having grown up in a Midwest university town surrounded by corn and soybean crop land, the second half of his life has been, and is being, experienced under the influence of the heritage and traditions of his youth combined with the culture and customs of his beloved latter home of adoption, Hawai'i nei.
A former adventurer and risk-taker, Mike'itect intentionally became a family man and professional and expects to continue happily that way to the end. At the present, however, he leads the most boring daily life of anyone he knows. Top three anyway, but ehh, ... t'ings stay changing already!
