I completely agree. Two other big causes of problems that I never see brought up are. Clear rules about what is allowed/causes a response. You routinely hear protesters complain we did nothing and the police started firing tear gas or moving in on the crowd. What they don't know is if the fence between the two sides gets pushed or moved police consider that aggression and respond. That's just an example, but when both sides understand the rules it makes things safer

another thing common language to communicate through the two sides. Police are abusive when clearing the streets, they push and club people, they spray them when they turn around and stop moving. A protester isn't going to know what is happening and it is human nature to turn around and ask, which police respond to by hitting them. It is a bit of insanity.
> One way to recover is to automatically close tickets after a certain period of time.

Just be thoughtful about how you do this otherwise it can easily come across like "we don't really care about your issue".

Google has had two rounds of auto-closing old Android bugs and their message is really bad. Something like "Our product team is prioritising other things.".

Similarly Github's stale bot is way over used. One project I submitted a bug to closed it because there was no activity for only a month.

If you must close old bugs automatically, word it nicely, and don't close it instantly and ask people to reopen it. Something like this is best:

> We're trying to clean up our bug tracker. This bug is older than 5 years and has had no activity for 2 years. Is this still an issue?

Compare with Google's message:

> Thank you for your feedback. We have tried our best to address the issue reported [they hadn't], however our product team has shifted work priority which doesn't include this issue [what does that even mean?]. For now, we will be closing the issue as "Won't Fix (Obsolete)" [great, thanks]. If this issue still currently exists, we request that you log a new issue along with the latest bug report here: https://goo.gl/TbMiIO and reference this bug for context.
I've seen good success with having an entirely different pipeline for rushed/rapid/panic tickets. The rapid pipeline reduces some of the ticket and procedural bureaucracy of the normal pipeline, and only lasts a sprint. That obviously comes with risk, so putting something in the rapid pipeline needs to be weighed properly.

The somewhat untold benefit of this system, is it makes the product manager or client decide between "I want to control this ticket" and "This needs to be done as fast as possible". That seems to naturally filter out tickets that are only superfluously high priority.
A coworker introduced me to the concept of a 'novelty budget', and I find it really useful. If my team is taking on a new project, there are many ways to improve on how things have been done in the past. But doing anything new carries some risk. If every part of the project is new, it will be very risky.

So I use the idea of a novelty budget to negotiate with my engineers. "What things do you really want to change? Let's focus on that, and use tried and true, albeit suboptimal, methods for the other stuff, to stay within our novelty budget." Down the road, once you can handle more risk, you can introduce one of those changes that were originally punted.

> Lynch’s most infamous comment, the one that many believe set New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio running scared from the cause of police reform, came after a man shot two NYPD officers in Brooklyn in 2014. The slain officers’ “blood on the hands starts at City Hall in the Office of the Mayor,” Lynch said. The PBA president blamed de Blasio because the mayor acknowledged, in the wake of Garner’s death, that racially disparate policing exists in New York City. Cops subsequently turned their back on de Blasio at the slain officers’ funeral, and the mayor has sided with the cops ever since.

> But to understand why the mayor does what he does, one must understand what he’s up against. On Monday, The City reported that since 2015 the PBA has spent upwards of $1.4 million on lobbying and campaign contributions. In addition to conventional political advocacy for their interests, as City & State noted in a 2019 cover story, “the cops also have the power to undermine a mayor by refusing to do their job.” In December 2014, when Lynch blamed the two officers’ murders on de Blasio, NYPD officers made two-thirds fewer arrests and wrote 94% fewer tickets than they had during the same period the year before. The PBA has also moved to block new policies intended to increase transparency and accountability, for example by suing to prevent the release of body camera footage.

I relate to your struggle and on the bright side, getting better at this does give you and your thoughts more autonomy.

Sorry, I don’t have a solution for you. However, I can share what I feel contributes to the barrier that exists between you, change, and change management. In jazz, being a good collaborator is often referred to as “having big ears”. It’s necessary for players to tune their style to match that of others and selflessly create space for others to do that realllly sweet sounding solo that’s so grooovy!

What’s the point? If you want to make change, focus on changing the environment so it nurtures the uncomfort of evolving change to take effect without trying to control it like an orchestra. Ken from Google Ventures has some good writing on this to check out.

To truly listen, you have to relinquish the desire to think about how you’ll respond or the thing from 30 seconds ago. How do you do that? Idk, lmk if you figure it out. It’s hard — and it requires practice.

Proactively changing your behavior to be receptive to others will lead to your inevitable growth into “leadership” or “influence”. The best leaders are the ones who listen best. It starts with you.

The more you manage to flip the interview, the better you're likely to come across, too. 1) people like talking about themselves and what they do and will like you more as a result, and 2) it puts them in a mindset of trying to impress/sell-to you which does a bunch of stuff psychologically that works in your favor.
Yes, no need to do it in public period. People who do it in public have some agenda of implicating the public and diminishing the image of the shamed in front of the public and getting allies. Who does that? People high on narcisistic traits. This is a red flag if it happens regularly.

Something I appreciated about Indonesian which doesn’t translate well to English (or many other languages that I’m aware of) is their two forms of “we”, inclusive and exclusive. “Kami”, excludes the one being spoken to, “Kita” includes them.

> where the civilian is armed

Nitpick: Cops are civilians too. Every time the cops show up, the community has to deal with an "armed civilian".

> situations where the civilian is armed (which is not always known by dispatch nor the cops themselves, until it's too late)

Cops aren't the only government employees that interface with the [potentially armed] public though. Parking enforcement officers don't have guns, and it doesn't seem to me that they're regularly ambushed. I've found three cases where this has happened, although I'm sure there are others:

- Campus parking officer stabbed my school janitor (https://nypost.com/2018/06/29/campus-parking-officer-stabbed...)

- Ex-Federal Protective Service cop gets intoxicated and shoots at parking enforcement (https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/shots-fired-at-park...)

- "Man with AK-47 approaches parking officer during argument about tickets" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EDJ4OsYXul0)

Anyway, yes, there are lots of people with guns, and that means that they may act erratically (to neighbors and government employees).

Showing up with guns and threatening them with violence makes many people behave more erratically, not less, and my hope would be that we don't have to worry about "what if that guy has a gun" because 'maintaining public safety' means replacing their broken headlight rather than giving them a ticket and a court date and demanding to search their vehicle while you're at it.
First i do what my boss says, when i did that and we both have a little time to talk, i explain to him why i was thinking the other stuff was more important, often he has a good point from a complete different perspective than i have, sometimes i 'win' from my 'technical' perspective, after some time passes you learn to read each other and decision's are made without questions, for me its super important to know each others and the base where decision's are made.

I would say it is not so much that the words don’t translate into English as the words encode cultural experiences and emotions that many English speakers haven’t experienced.

And I think this is true even in words in the same language. For example “police” means something very different emotionally to a young, urban, black man than an older, suburban white woman.

I think there is a food analog as well. There are some foods that I don’t think anyone can cook as well my mother. Objectively, if you tested my mom’s version of the food against in taste test with - 100 people versus a professional chef, most people would pick the chef’s version as tasting better. But for me, the exact smell and taste of my mom’s version brings back those emotions of happiness and closeness from when we would eat the meal together as a family growing up.

So I don’t think it is so much differences in language, but differences in experience.
Arrest and charging of the criminals (who happen to be police as well) firing rubber bullets at people's heads would also help.

> managers cannot disagree with each other in front of other employees

People have a difficult time receiving criticism, let alone in front of a group people/subordinates. I'm guessing this policy was put in place due to past incidences. The art of disagreeing with someone without coming off as disparaging isn't always straight-forward, but there are ways. e.g. "That's a good idea, but have thought of this way..." vs "That's not going to work. This is the way to do it.". You might want to try re-framing things when you are at a point of disagreement. If that doesn't work, probably best to speak with the person offline then and avoid a stressful situation.
Living in the center of a mid-sized city - this isn't always possible. When doing volunteer health assessments at the local homeless shelter, I came across several situations where there isn't a clear path to get to my destination that doesn't involve people protesting (literally surrounded at times).
Why wouldn't an entrepreneur just borrow dollars in the US and exchange them for Euros? Or just take equity investments instead of debt and not bother with interest rates in the first place?

What benefits? Do you count payment to consultants as a benefit - the consultants would.

If you define benefits as ability for people to get from point a to point b, often, quickly and safely a lot of costs are not needed. Note in particular I artistic stations are not a benifet to me - some would disagree.

We know that by my definition Spain is able to build rail for much less cost.

Note that I picked consultants arbitrarily as something to pick on. Unions have been blamed. EPA has been blamed (I'm not sure what the UK equivalent is). Bribes have been blamed. There is plenty more.
