Opinion | The America We Need
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.
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.
