The recent election should have made it clear to everyone that many communities, centered around industries like manufacturing or fossil fuel energy, have been decimated in the last few decades or so. These are obviously large trends, but in our technological and economic progress we should figure out how to make sure these communities are not left behind.
I would like to see a larger effort for the SV community to expand into some of these communities and help give some of these communities a much-needed economic jolt.
