Opinion | The America We Need

Many Americans have demonstrated heroic strength during the coronavirus pandemic, but the society itself has revealed profound weaknesses. Widening gaps in income, wealth and opportunity in the years before the virus hit left everyone more vulnerable to the disease. It undermined the nation’s defenses and weakened its response. Yet the devastation of the pandemic has also created an opportunity to begin to put things right, to ensure that the America that ultimately emerges is more just, more free and less fragile. Through this initiative, Times Opinion is exploring, and seeking to answer, basic questions about what the government owes its citizens, what corporations owe their employees and what we all owe each other. America was ailing long before the coronavirus reached its shores. Now we have the chance to make it better.

The only way to solve the problems described by the New York Times editorial staff, its league of expert contributors, and concerned readers, is by reorganizing the entire three-level government. Amendments to any subsisting charter system will not do what we ultimately expect of a just government - provide adequate justification for policy resolutions that inconvenience any constituents.

The Times will deny that its suggesting violent revolution

Radical change, yes

but the only violence will be against the minority who want to preserve the republic that the Founders created

the republic that is our God given right
 
I don't see the subliminal suggestions. Can you highlight them specifically?

What are the things they owe us?
 
"The pandemic created an opportunity to begin to put things right". How so? The democratic process allows us to put things right every two and four and six years in the voting booths. Americans are suffering under virtual Martial Law and the Times claims that Americans will emerge "more free"? How does that work? It seems that the opposite is true and the pandemic has created a crop of frankenstein monster politicians who are drunk with power and they may not give it up easily regardless of the Constitution.

I think the quote lays it out pretty well...

IOW -- NEVER let a good crisis go to waste..

NEVER be part of the solutions and hard work to DEFEAT the crisis,... Just get in downward dog position and ponder how wonderful things would be if we managed to FORCE political change during the worst national crisis in 100 years...
