The question is what do you do in the face of abuse of the system? Do we shut everything down and walk away and pretend it didn't happen and let's just not talk about it, like an emotionally immature six year old child that pooped in the living room? Because that doesn't make the problem go away, but that's what we did.

You set up a system to help people that could be abused, and then you set up oversight committee, external auditors, regulators, board of trustees, ombudsman, inspector general. A giant pile of bureaucrats and bureaucracy. And yes, abuses will still happen. You get it all on camera, in writing, you find the abuses of the system and you close those down. New abuses happen, you find those loopholes and close them down. The problem is there's no will to do that. The systems broken, so we just threw it out and the people that it was helping got fucked. Instead of like, hey the systems broken, lets fix it.

So instead we got people living in tents with no running water, no sewage, no electricity.
