I wish we could stop looking for someone to blame or complain about and start looking for solutions. I think that’s the spirit of volunteering here.

Part of looking for solutions requires root cause analysis. Which can be "blameless" but there is at some point a need to figure out where the holes are in a system to be able to patch them. Otherwise people will never know if they're paying for a problem to occur (taxes) and then paying to help fix them too (donations + volunteering)!

		Now, this is a good point! I'm actually willing to pay taxes to ensure they are used for the common good. My offspring no longer is school age, but i am STILL willing to pay taxes that pay for elementary school, and such...Because it helps society and the common good in so many ways. But, i think we have to have discussions when those infra.-level things are not providing the benefits because those in power keep making awful decisions...and the next steps don't involve removing said efforts, but rather improving them, bettering their implementations, etc...and that can start with a post-mortem, or RCA, even a simple 5 Whys, whatever it takes to help society stay safe, improve well-being for all, give societal particiapnts a chance at propserity, etc. :-)

I was lamenting the state of society, that's all. I think any volunteers - regardless of area - are true champions. But, i was simplky casting shade to those in power for their failings, and allowing things to trickle to what i believe is a sad state of affairs. I'm just some rando on the web yelling at (the men who "created") the clouds. ;-)
