Part 1: Consider it Pure Joy

From "Vision Series 2020." This year, we take a different approach than regular. The cascade effect of a global pandemic, recession, a summer of violence between police and protestors, wildfires, and our city on the front page of international news on a reoccurring basis has left us exhausted.
