The future seems quite dim some days. We could change things if there was the political will to do so. So many special interests in our capitalist society block the solutions from happening.
I know. I should have been able to find some kind of silver lining, shouldn’t I? I do think the infrastructure legislation will help mitigate damage, unless individual states find a way to dilute or misdirect it. But pure capitalistic motives work against elevating the common good.
Thank you for writing such a thoughtful perspective, Cheryl. We do need to start a very serious conversation about what is going on. Politics is letting our children and grandchildren down.
Yes, so many people in the U.S. shouldn’t be dying or being impoverished by our failures to act. Some predict that these disasters will cause even more income inequality. Thanks, Kathi.

Silver linings are hard to come by these days. Honesty may help us get further along.
