I also remember Minneapolis declaring racism a public health crisis: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/minneapolis-racism-public-health-emergency/ https://www.cbsnews.com/news/minneapolis-racism-public-healt... There is no area of public policy where you can turn off your critical thinking faculties and defer your judgements to experts, because every single area of public policy has been politicized. One can say it shouldn't be this way, but that's like insisting on a power vacuum. If you endow any area with political power, it will be taken over by politics.

Agreed. I think everyone idealizes public policy as some sort of machine whose principles of action are ultimately traceable. Alas... It's a bunch of humans trying to sort out an answer to problems that don't lend themselves to being "solved" especially when the definition of "solved" is once again, politics. This, seemingly, is why we can't have nice things.
