Many thanks Stephen Yearwod. The ideas need possibly flushing out some more and that's just fine. An enormous communication, selling job awaits it, but not impossible.
A realisation, an national admission has to be made that the economic / social system we have in the US is at a basic level NOT working, AND, it is possible to repair it so that we can all live better lives and be happier. There are many parts of the problem but I see the overarching one as income and wealth inequality. Take care of that and the others will fall more easily. Your article addresses very directly this key to all.
I have a different (or additional) take on the situation and what can be done. Two articles that are also on Medium "Wealth and Happpiness -- it takes two to tango" and "Donald and Corona -- let's make them work for us". Would welcome your comments.
Thanks again.
