The Shiny Object

We’re easily distracted by shiny objects.

Those shiny objects gain leverage if we put labels on them — safety, anti-vax, ableism, privilege, transphobia, etc.

But if we could look past our distractions for just a minute.

What happens if all public health policies start with a better food supply and more exercise?
What happens if all public education policies start with education?
What happens if all public community policies start with family?
What happens if all public law enforcement and prosecuting policies start with protecting victims?

The problem with shiny objects is that they distract us from real solutions.
