Hits a little close to home. I'm sure I'm not the only one, and anyone who speaks out about this should be applauded. Years from now we will still be examining the after effects of years spent at the mercy of addictive user engage

A lack of leadership. All of the listed examples had the leaders of the country front and center on these issues, making each a clear national priority and devoting considerable federal resources to the issue. Has that happened with COVID?
