• Such as, why Ohio incomes, on a per capita basis, lag the nation’s.
• Such as, why, in a nation made digital-first by COVID-19, Ohio continues to futz around about statewide broadband access. Talk, talk, talk: That’s Ohio’s broadband “strategy.”
• Such as, why Ohio’s purportedly liberal Democratic Party has yet to elect a Black Ohioan to a statewide executive elected office. (Democrats did nominate and help elect Ohio Supreme Court Justice Melody Stewart, a greater Cleveland Democrat.)

COVID-19 has spared no generation, but has put a unique burden on Generation Z the roughly 67 million Americans born between 1997 and 2012 who are just entering the workforce, starting college, or graduating high school amid a pandemic.
