Carlos, thanks for this super thoughtful and important reply. I think I could have done a better job explaining how the pandemic has created a "K" graph, broadening the gap between the rich and poor. I could also have done a better job outlining, specifically, how communities of color have been disproportionately impacted as well. I guess that's how I'm seeing it as a social issue. It's a health issue, but it seems to me that our broken health system makes it a social issue. Not sure if that makes sense, but that's where I'm coming from. I'd actually love to chat more about this. I have a lot to learn.
You're right about the elections, too. Democrats have won the popular vote for several elections in a row now, but that's not reflected in the electoral college--an example of the misappropriation of power in the US.
Right now, I'm paying attention to the UN's sustainability goals. Specifically, I'm curious about how they've prioritized their causes. I've placed education a lot higher on the list, and now I'm wondering if I should be focused elsewhere with my career.
Also, I'm really grateful for your response. In fact, I'd love to invite you to the private Up To Something community on slack. There's even more space for important conversations like these, there. No pressure, but you've been reading and interacting a lot--you deserve an invite. :)
If you're interested, just let me know how I can send you the link. I'm on social media everywhere as @theCountDanilo and I'd be happy to DM it to you.
