Well here’s a federal program (free Covid tests) that actually worked.

Ordered 1/18, day before the site went officially live. Got email confirmation.

Tuesday 1/25 got email saying would have free tests by the end of the week.

Later same day got email saying tests out for delivery and would arrive by 8:15pm.

Arrived at 7:15pm.

You can argue about why this didn’t happen under Trump or why it took a year for Biden to pick up the dropped baton, but it’s here now and working well.

Update: March 2022 – Another round of free tests were announced; I signed up for same on a Tuesday, and by Thursday night they had been delivered.
