Assignment:
After reading the article written by Mark Gerencer, I'd like to hear your thoughts about the US ability today and in the future to utilize the collective assets of the United States to address critical national problems that are primarily manifest at the state or regional level. In particular, please pay attention to the concept of a "megacommunity" and whether you see it as an effective solution. Do you think our infrastructure problems resemble the national mobilization problems associated with the coronavirus?
