Yeah, the nest egg definitely enables advantage. Our immense problem with this present pandemic eruption is that covidquake disruption catches millions of people and families who have no nest egg.

Repairing this breach will surely require national and international cooperation, if such a thing is even possible in this polarized epoch. We need leadership — something like a benevolent visionary such as FDR in 1932. I don’t know who that person would be . . . certainly not the combative executive we have now. Looks like the task will have to fall on Joe: re-working our infrastructure for effective and equitable mitigation of this disaster.
