Where do we go from here? [View all]

Serious question. The economy is in shambles. The pandemic isn’t going anywhere and is, in fact, growing in my state of Texas.

There is definitely a sense of change in the air with The BLM movement which is fabulous.

But seriously where do we go from here? How do we recover - ever? Surely someone has some ideas, right? But I’m not hearing those ideas. We need a vaccine, of course. But we’ve got to have jobs, too. We need equality, but dare I hope that it will it be different this time going forward? Are we simply going to slump back into life as usual with millions out of work, thousands dead from the virus, and equality talked about but not made real?

I hope not but I need some convincing - especially on the economic aspect. I’m scared shitless that people will starve.
