LEADING FROM BEHIND
My name is Christopher Peter and welcome to the CRC Review. The CRC Review is your source for common sense commentary covering salient topics impacting our society and economy.
Traditionally, Americans expect our leaders to champion our values, interests, and causes in every corner of the world, especially within our own borders. We expect America to be at the forefront of the global push for good, even if we have to take charge or go at it alone. America is not just another nation, but the lone symbol of true freedom, democracy, and opportunity.
America deserves strong leadership representative of our democracy rather than a push towards autocracy. The false need to operate in a hectic manner than the deliberative and transparent approach expected is pushing us towards greater autocracy then democracy. Americans wants governance by principle not by manufactured crisis. Leaders should be able to build consensus rather and not coerce society.
In this podcast, Leading from Behind, I discuss the recent current events and other factors to show our leadership is not performing up to par and the potential ramifications society is experiencing. Also, I discuss a possible better incentive to get more people vaccinated. Please click above.
HEALTHY LEVEL OF SKEPTICISM
The CRC Review is your source for common sense commentary covering the public policy and salient topics impacting our national economy and overall society.
People should hold a general level of skepticism about any society. Political, social, or economic cynicism is healthy to a point. There are valid reasons to doubt what our leaders state, what we see or read in the media, and what fellow Americans hold as facts that are actually opinions.
Normally, our society relies on credible sources to determine factual statements versus bloviation or what politicians call political speak. Those credible sources are usually our news media, including newspapers, news channels, and nightly news broadcasts.
Unfortunately, these sources are lighter on the journalism and bigger on advancing narratives, as many journalists struggle to objectively report facts rather choosing to select facts that advance a predetermined stance. Too often we are coerced and shamed into believing things that turn out to be completely false a few weeks later.
That is why people cannot have complete trust in our institutions that usually help educate the public. Please click on the podcast above for more about why skepticism is healthy in our society.

OUR FIGHT AGAINST A GLOBAL PANDEMIC
The United States of America possesses a great resolve like no other nation. Our history demonstrates our ability to overcome challenges, domestic and abroad. Our nation overcame the global financial crisis, two world wars, 9/11, and many natural disasters. The Covid-19 coronavirus pandemic is next on the list. To win this fight, steady leadership from our government and society uniting to take needed steps and adapt when necessary.
The Covid-19 pandemic was a challenge not experienced in quite some time. Our government needed to not only learn about the virus on the fly, but also overcome numerous economic, societal, and systemic challenges along the way. Unlike responses to hurricanes, wildfires, and known infectious diseases, there was no blueprint and response protocol in place. The nature of our way of life and global connectedness contributed greatly to our approach and risk. Far from an easy challenge.
