One of the primary things that jumps out from that thread to me is the systems nature of the problem. In a lot of ways, caseworkers and the clients they serve are not in drastically dissimilar situations. The effect of the system being overloaded is different on each side, but this is not some zero-sum game where either clients get the benefit or the workers do: interests are more aligned than not, even if sometimes clients don't perceive it as so.
But the question I wrestle with in this is — given things are so overloaded, what actual interventions can be feasibly made here?
