nice critique of design thinking here:
these solutions are unmoored from a political program that might address the inequities that make them necessary in the first place. This is a perspective encouraged by imagining resource problems as design problems. It's a perspective that depoliticizes scarcity, treating it as a technical problem rather than one of resource inequality or exploitation
