The 2021 BeEcon Guide is out, and @Philipe_Bujold and I have a paper making an argument that has been simmering for quite some time.

Today is a good day.
It’s easier to be a parent this morning.
Character MATTERS.
Being a good person MATTERS.

Today is a good day.

Why has the United States handled this pandemic so badly? The Editors note that although we came into this crisis with enormous advantages, our current political leaders have demonstrated that they are dangerously incompetent.
