Meanwhile, the current view in Vancouver is…… apparently killing 6 people a day. But damn, let’s not try anything different.

That’s the way it always goes. You can’t look at Portugal’s handling of addiction/homelessness because it’s
different!. You can’t look at Denmark’s prison system because it’s
different!
Why is it that when we’re solving anything from small to major problems, everyone understands that learning from others is just an obvious step to take, but as soon as the biggest problems arise, it’s “oh no, I don’t know what the solution is, but I know it can’t be found by learning from anyone else because their situation is different!”
There is nothing more useless than the people that don’t know what the solution is and their most valuable retort is “well that’s different!”
The world’s information easier to access than any point in history and people are afraid to learn something. Incredibly sad and why these problems persist.
