Prefer Henry‑scale Resilience

Public systems should prioritise simple, robust, repairable infrastructure and procurement that does one job well rather than complex, instrumented products that centralise control and require distant data dependencies. The political frame rewards showy innovation, but resilience comes from maintainable, low‑complexity 'back‑of‑house' design and local production. — Shifting policy and procurement toward simpler, locally maintainable infrastructure would change where governments and firms invest responsibility and could strengthen everyday resilience and trust.
