California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) announced just one day after the U.S. officially withdrew from the World Health Organization (WHO) that his state would become the first to join the organization’s Global Outbreak Alert and Response Network, in a seeming rebuke of the Trump administration’s withdrawal from international collaborations.
Newsom traveled this week to the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, where he was scheduled to speak at an event but was canceled at the last moment. During his trip, he met with WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus.
One of the founders thought we should draft a new constitution from scratch every few years and they created the ammendment system specifically so any part could be scrapped and remade in case there were problems. They clearly didn’t think it was perfect, just good enough for the time. They certainly didn’t expect us to slow down and stop with the ammendments, at least.
