For weeks now, hurricanes Harvey, Irma, and Maria have been schooling America, revealing our affluence to be a brittle one. We’re not resilient to natural hazards – a serious vulnerability, since we live on a planet that does much of its business through extreme events. Worse yet, what resilience we do enjoy in the United States has been declining, community-by-community, bit-by-bit, over decades.
As Bill Hook, the author, points out, this should be -- by far -- the #1 new story. But the nonsense between President Trump and the NFL has foolishly been dominant.
I recommend Bill's column highly.
