(12,712 posts)Well, that's a good question and it seems that we are finding out slowly WTF is going on in this country because it is getting difficult to hide it and use big, bold distractions like "booming economy", etc.
America has been wearing a mask and it looked normal and healthy. The virus has started eating that mask and that's revealing what's under the surface. It's not like this is just the pandemic and the economy, it's about our systems, the impact of the GOP/Trump, education levels, wages, inequity, wealth, theocratic movements, etc.
Also, mental health. The stress of this crisis is revealing the overall character and mental health of this country which has suffered by way of abuse and the extreme cognitive dissonance of leaders who lie an confuse the population for ulterior motives. From what I see, we are not doing terribly mentally, but some of our population is rather vulnerable and cracking. America is on the edge, so to speak. We will see how that works out. And we do need some healing if we get the toxic vermin to back off or out of the way.
There are obviously going to have to be changes. Our system needs a major overhaul if we are going to SURVIVE and THRIVE for the rest of this century. Right now, that is precarious both nationally and globally. Transformation is overdue.
