So I want us to talk now about some of these crises of political legitimacy stemming from institutional rot, this inability to react to

circumstances that have happened in the past. And the first one that I'm going to do is going to be

pandemic and it is picking up steam.

So take that as you well.

So can you, just for the benefit of our listeners, can you explain why the Sulla

meme might be particularly appropriate now?
