Description

In this month’s blog, I’m not going to mention COVID-19, Coronavirus, pandemics, face coverings, vaccines, or even social distancing. Indulge me…there are other pressing issues.

As the infamous year 2020 lurches forward, we should take note of what’s going on across our nation. There’s hurt, frustration, and anger in the streets of some of our largest cities. There’s widespread reconsideration of the nation’s history and of some of its principal players. There’s a highly polarized national election looming on the near horizon. Superimposed upon all of these strains are economic volatility and uncertainty. We see the economic fallout of 2020’s first six months in the number of local businesses that don’t appear to be reopening after the North Carolina shutdown.
