Date: 2024-12-09 02:51 pm (UTC)Back when I worked with non-profits (pre-covid), I listened to a podcast about healthcare in West Africa and the innovations there: cheap, nimble, effective. One part of the discussion was about the U.S. Could our providers learn from their providers? Of course. Did they? No. And why? Because it was AFRICA, what could we possibly learn from folks over there?!?! Sigh...
I also fear that Americans are too used to our civic participation consisting of voting (if we feel sufficiently moved to) or blithering on social media. We don't know how to organize for the long term; we better learn quick.
