" Of course, there are many more examples.  My point is: that the inability to confess even harmless, simple mistakes, and to instead "double-down" and never admit "errors" is a critical flaw in a national leader... especially now.  It has shaken my confidence and has, almost certainly and irretrievably, lost my vote." Well put. Effective leadership requires humility in the face of the vastness of the unknown. To claim possession of the answer before an understanding of the question is folly.

  I was right with Solus until I read the New York Times and NPR which are among the worst IMHO on fact-checking. But hey, that's me.

  Bottom line this Covid-19 crisis is laying a lot of weak links in this country's armor open for all to see.
I hope we learn something when the dust is settled.

  One thing I think we all can agree on is voting in the 2020 election is going to be one of the most consequential votes you'll EVER cast.

This country is at a fork in the road. The END destinations are so far apart, it will take decades or maybe never IF we choose wrong and want to go in the other direction.

  I'm voting even if I have to wear a hazmat suit to do it.  ;) ;D ;D
