1/ Countries much wiser than ours play the long game, not only planning for the future 20 & 30 years from now but also looking at the horizon to see dangers lurking ahead and working to prevent them.

2/Ours has not worked that way for a long time, because our guiding principle has been short term corporate profits rather them long-term societal health and well-being. Problems arise and we are merely reactive, which in many cases is the opposite of being “response-able.”

3/That’s why we need to get $ out of politics; only then will we be able to change our guidance system from whatever serves unfettered capitalism to whatever serves people and planet. Money should not be the deciding factor in tending to our planet, our democracy or our people.

4/ Not only w/ infectious diseases but also w/ nuclear power & the environment, death has been staring us in the face for a long time. We need to proactively wage peace, we need WW2-level mass mobilization to deal w/ climate change, and we need to front end resources to our kids.

We have to get off of the two party system so those with radical ideas to change our future can have a chance. How do we do this?

That seemed to work out well for China, really saw that covid coming... the list is pretty large to me. But, as you think other countries do it better, why are you not there? Are you single? Sometimes when you only look for the bad, that’s all you will see...

I feel you, but I don’t know how prepared other just-in-time, “laissez faire” driven countries really were, but they at least recognize the reality. The only reality we have is on TV... the game theory angle, is almost an argument in favor of rekindling the Cold War😁

@marwilliamson - the more I hear from you, the worse I feel about how you were treated by the media in the primaries. I sincerely hope you and @AndrewYang are back in ‘24. Once people open their eyes, you 2 will be a force to reckon with.
