"Moment of Zen"

NOTE

Demand Accountability for Effective Solutions

Current accountability in social programs is severely lacking, as metrics showcase ineffective expenditures with no incentives tied to actual results. Instead of focusing on outcomes, rewards are based on lobbying and identity representation, resembling a flawed version of affirmative action that neglects effectiveness. Proposals for improvement include increasing temporary shelters, enhancing mental health and drug treatment services, and introducing accountability based on measurable outcomes. Establishing mental health courts for repeated offenders is advocated, emphasizing the need for forced treatment as a pragmatic solution rather than resorting to prison or enabling negative behaviors. Ultimately, the focus should be on sound leadership, common sense, and a commitment to accountability in addressing these social issues.
