Notwithstanding an economy bias, the format presents a chance to examine what's next. Throw the self serving versus the society serving into the mix and you get an uneven chart. The authors seem to want to give investors some guidance. Most people are not risk takers. I choose safety unless the predicament warrants otherwise. We are not on the 104th floor of the WTC with the choice of burning to death or a splat, yet, for most of us. Just the same, as an at risk elder who was hoping to spend my retirement money on seeing the world I've missed, I want to look beyond my walks and Instacart drives. Still don't see an escape without drugs or vaccine. There will be those sacrificed, as is always the case. Machiavelli thought this through. The question as I see it, is whether we will use this event to transform or transact. We have the errors of our ways on full display. Will we address them or succumb to those who want to use them to their advantage?
