In Louisiana, where i am writing this, there exist extreme fragmentation of approaches for youth welfare a combination of courts. religious groups, nonprofits, poor and wealthy families. Each serves as a mechanism of support where AI is only now surfacing as a tool. The point is, there exist no central state mechanism of public health and even those are being defended by the Trump administration. Everyone for themselves. Good luck! And let the free market decide!

Thanks Stefan, a fascinating perspective from Louisiana! The fragmented approach you describe offers a valuable contrast to more centralized systems. Your insight about public services being defunded adds an important political dimension to this reality. This "everyone for themselves" approach and market-based thinking highlights how dramatically different welfare contexts can be. Thank you for sharing this different perspective as AI begins to enter these various welfare landscapes.
