Institutions are not failing, they've always failed.
This idealism of the past having justice and so on is ridiculous.
In fact, the past was much more worse and yet people didn't want to see that it was broken unless it happened to them.
That's why apartheid, racism, sexism was allowed for so long... Also the medical system just kept giving us garbage that only now people are questioning.
I see hope now because at least some people are questioning the system when the predecessors were in majority ignoring the issues.
Wolf Wolfensberger et al. formulated Normalisation that evolved into Social Role Valorisation. They invented an institutional analysis called Programme Analysis of Service Systems, in which model coherency theory is an important heuristic. An institution was examined in the classroom (later revealed to be Auschwitz Birkenau) that was shown to be supremely modelly coherent, except for one criterion, it wasn't run for the benefit of the inmates. A person that I knew did the PASS course and analysed an old folks' home in Manchester. He was surprised to see it snowing, in July; the old blokes said that it wasn't snow, it was ash from the crematorium over the road. It saved on transport when the inmates died. You can't legislate against cupidity and bad faith and that is why anarchism is the only democratic political ideology.
I tried reading it. I guess I am jaded and my neuroplasticity has resulted in a short attention span. I put it into AI and got the gist I think pretty well judging by the part that I did read.
What I get out of it is, institutions become non responsive and people are too tired to/broke/self-involved/beaten down to do something that can replace these institutions.
I am reading the book The Desperate People by Farley Mowat. It describes the condition of the native peoples in the interior lands of Canada in the 1930's-1940's. I think Mowat and Lelièvre would be of a mind re institutional closure. (The natives were starving, having been turned into pelt finders by the Hudson Bay Company. The pelts ran out as did the deer, and natives were lost without that trading, their old ways lost. Canadian government closed its eyes; closure. )
Canada is a useful example when the system finally starts failing. Canadians most likely know that Alberta, Manitoba and Quebec have secessionist movements within their provinces. Americans may know, but until it happens, Americans have other more pressing issues to think about.
Due to a recent event that happened during the Crown's visit to the US and the failure of King Charles III to reign in President Trump, I predict Starmer will use the military to prevent Alberta, Manitoba and Quebec from leaving Canada. I hope I am wrong, but will be surprised if I am.

Spot on.

Hospital systems that keep merging and screw around with employees are the masters of this concept … follow the money 💰

True.
Love the painting
Me too!

Wow!
