the seriousness of a matter
You've followed the course of actions and decisions made by politicians across Hawaii and the nation over the past month. Their statements one day were reversed the next as they finally recognized the seriousness of the epidemic. Even Ige.
Is Harry moving fast enough? Not for me. He's stubborn on top of everything else. But what will likely urge him in the right direction, threats or repeated facts? If the answer is neither, then threats are just wasted effort. Should we incrementally lead a tired, doddering old donkey to water, there's at least some chance he'll drink, eventually, like almost everyone else who went there kicking and screaming.
Edited to add: Just to be clear (knieft?), “...tired, doddering old donkey...” is not name calling. It’s discriptive.
