Okay, so: we're overtaxed as it is and therefore unable to add more to
the pile isn't an unreasonable answer, but the reality is that the pile
is going to keep growing and we need to find a way to deal with it. Are
there specific places where more community people could plug in? Do I
need to push for more hiring? Is there something more specific than
just more bodies, because that's always a hard sell.

I can help with education. But, right now, the lesson people are
getting isn't, I think, the intended one. Instead, everyone is getting
frustrated on all sides.
