Governor Cuomo On The State of the State
From the war room of New York's capitol.
Addressing how new realities and structures have come out of the Covid War,
and whether America will be stronger or weaker in the post-Covid world.
Government must simultaneously
1. beat covid
2. vaccinate 70-90%
3. manage economic crisis
4. invest in the future
5. transition to green energy
6. understand long term effects of covid
7. address systemic injustice
How
-- human discipline of attitude and thinking about public health
-- restructure public health, supplies, distribution systems, and federal coordination with new state public health
-- funding and spending sufficient to end covid's fiscal damage
-- end federal politicization and negligence of of health and economic impact of the covid attack
-- ensure federal responsible economic justice, prudence and compensation to pay for the public health the nation demands;
-- austerity must not be the answer for state debt due to federal mismanagement
-- reconstruct for a better future by solving the real problems of the "two Americas," restructure justice policies to end the great economic and social divide
-- make broadband accessible and affordable
-- build social justice by reforming public safety; pass laws for police interactions with urban populations
-- provide public relief and assistance in housing, rents; legally prevent business profiting from public misery, making the federal govt get out of states' way
-- reimagine, reinvent, recreate boldly from past lessons
Overcome? Yes We Can
IMO, as goes the state of New York, so goes the United States.
