The big picture is no small problem.

Bi-state Bridges Authority member and One Southern Indiana acolyte Jerry Finn, via a Tribune guest column, asks that we consider the larger picture.

OK.

In Fixing the Future, a one-hour PBS special airing November 18th (check local listings), David Brancaccio visits communities across America using innovative approaches to create jobs and build prosperity in our new economy.

He interviewed YES! Magazine board chair David Korten for a big picture perspective about what it will take to build an economy that works for all.

A transcript is available here.

Watch the full episode. See more NOW on PBS.


Your turn, Jerry.

Crickets chirp, pins drop. Somewhere, leashed to a street sign outside the offices of a non-profit, a lonesome dog barks.

The whole 1Si/Bridges "leadership" schtick is to just do more of the same as if it's positive or even possible indefinitely.

Unfortunately, it's unrealistic and damaging, encouraging us not to keep an open mind but closed eyes. They're planning for an era that's already over and just hoping no one notices because they apparently don't have much else to offer.

23 lane single occupancy vehicle exchanges proposed as a 100 year solution would be laughable if not so precariously consequential.
