Old Man In A Hurry

Sina, I generally appreciate your weekly insightful essays. However your current one is like having a pebble in the shoe while hiking the Sanitas trail. This introduction is more akin to a Wall Street Journal editorial (I am a subscriber), or a posting in a Palm Beach, Florida Country Club (not a member) than from the well respected Highland City Club.

We desperately need the "old man' to be in a hurry. Few voted for a caretaker president. Biden supporters elected a man to undo 4 years of lies, bullying, environmental degradation, conspiracy theories, abuse to women, minorities, puppet to Putin, and threats to our democracy. Undoubtedly President Biden has his faults. However he inherited a country in turmoil, an economy in peril from his predecessor and if anything we need an Older Boulder Man:)

The saddest part of this inheritance has been the thousands of deaths from Covid which could have been significantly reduced if only the epidemic has been taken seriously and the former president had been "man" enough to promulgate mask wearing instead of degrading this practice.

Please share this email with City Club members. I am writing this not only on my behalf but for others who have expressed their unease with this article but for various reasons have not made any comments.

Thank you.

Peter Fenichell
