However idiotic it may be - people are far more willing to pay $$$$$ to have a broken leg treated than they are willing to pay $ for salt or sand to put on their icy sidewalk.

No one gets reelected for avoiding a crisis.
For example, Trump’s running on blaming the next guy for problems that he created as president.
Similarly, when Arnold was governor he bought a fleet of mobile hospitals that could have been used for covid.
They were scrapped by the democrats the second he was voted out, and that mistake has had zero political repercussions.
Shouldn't the govs and laws be immune to this?
