This is especaly true for the multi-generational clients and those who seek services over many years. Pay attention to budget battles in the federal and state legislative systems and you would know that. Big problem. Big politics with many billions of dollars and whole communties at stake. Lots of intense lobbying on all viewpoints. Politics is the topic not bicycle advocacy or safety.
