As Stanford economist Paul Romer once stated, “A crisis is a terrible thing to waste.” The COVID-19 crisis has allowed us to observe the unvarnished truth of disparity, dysfunction, myth and just plain deception about poverty, race, the economy, healthcare and governing that plague our society and culture. We have to look at each other, squarely in the eye and say, “No more; we can do better.” We must do better. We must be better. #Failureisnotanoption #covid19 #crisis #leadership #society #disparities #governing #riseupdobetter
