When the House Is Burning, Who Will Lead?

A cousin dies in a house fire. Years later, a young executive stands in a boardroom, watching America burn in slow motion-not from flames, but from neglect, inequality, and corporate indifference. These two tragedies aren't separate. They're connected by a single thread: the choice between action and apathy. We're living through a crisis of trust. Gallup's numbers don't lie-only 20% of Americans feel good about our moral climate, 24% think wealth is distributed fairly, and a mere 27% trust major corporations. These are some of the lowest ratings since 1935. Meanwhile, 50 million people live in forgotten towns where factories stand empty like monuments to abandonment. Drive through Walterboro, South Carolina, and you'll see what happens when corporate America looks the other way. Empty storefronts. Shuttered plants. Communities that once thrived now barely survive. These aren't just economic statistics-they're 50 million Americans whose towns got erased from corporate spreadsheets when executives decided small markets weren't worth the trouble. Network planning strategies bypass rural areas for urban centers, and the divide deepens. But here's what gets missed in the calculus: these forgotten towns hold political power, cultural heritage, and untapped human potential. They're also customers-millions of them-if anyone bothered to show up. The house is burning. The question isn't whether we see the smoke-it's whether we'll grab a hose or watch from a safe distance.
