President Biden visits a remote Native American reservation. With news crews following him around as they tour the place, Biden asks the chief if there is anything they need.
The chief said, “We have three very important needs. First, we have a medical clinic, but no doctor to man it.”
Biden whips out his cellphone, dials a number, talks to somebody for two minutes, and then hangs up. “I’ve pulled some strings. Your doctor will arrive in a few days. What is your second problem?”
The chief answered, “We have no way to get clean water. The local mining operation has poisoned the water our people have been drinking for hundreds of years. We’ve been flying bottled water in and it’s terribly expensive.”
Once again, Biden dials a number, yells into the phone for a few minutes, and then hangs up. “The mine has been shut down, and the owner is being billed for setting up a water purification plant for your people. What is your third problem?”
The chief looks at him strangely and replies, “We have NO cellphone reception up here!”
