Today I've been thinking of 2020 less as the year of unexpected shocks & catastrophes more as the year predictions came true. For decades concerned people have studied the likelihood of many bad things happening & proposed intelligent ways to prevent or mitigate them.

Requires rapid and drastic shifts in our mindsets, practices & systems from

1) what workers need -> what workers have
2) screening out -> screening in
3) more skilling -> better matching (and more skilling if needed)
