Friends, I’m sure you, like me, watched the Inaugural festivities with rapt attention after four years of misery, anxiety, uncertainty and fear. Whether it was the straight talk of challenges and hope offered by President Biden, the uplifting songs sung by Lady Gaga, Jennifer Lopez and Garth Brooks or the performance of Poet Laureate Amanda Gorman that left me speechless, today’s event set the stage for a new day in America. A day that acknowledges the very real and very scary problems of the global pandemic, the economic plight of tens of millions of Americans, the climate crisis and the schism in our society fueled by misinformation and social media bubbles that have gained currency and support these past four years.
