Thanks for the thoughtful article Kevin. (Also thanks to commenters for offering alternate viewpoints and additional reading). I was wondering what the right next step is given how critical this issue is?

You get into politics at the end, which seems pertinent. Should we all contact our officials and get them engaged on this issue? If so here’s this same blog post (https://cvko.co/P4) with the Give A Damn button at the bottom that will help readers contact their officials and forward this article to them.

Pardon the self-serving plug (the button is from my company) but I hope it is the right step after reading your post. I just did so myself.
