Interview with Brad Beck
Brad Beck introduces his latest essay: Procrastination. Beck’s new essay will be in the newsletter this weekend. The motivation behind Beck’s essay stems from a recurring observation: American politicians often exhibit a tendency to procrastinate, leading to delays in addressing pressing issues in a timely manner. In response to this perceived inertia among representatives, Beck highlights the importance of citizens taking a more proactive role. As elected officials may falter in their duty to act swiftly, it becomes imperative for ordinary individuals to step up and engage in grassroots initiatives. Beck underscores that everyday people, at times, let distractions like entertainment divert their focus from matters of genuine significance, emphasizing the need to stay vigilant and engaged in the democratic process.
