hmm, is this a change of topic?
The video topic overall is thus, but within that is mention of how the "massively fatal pandemic in recent memory" has affected change, in the sense of doing some harm to people on disability, and thereby pointing to how some very foundational issues need to be worked out in order to even begin to make "real change in public health funding/policy/etc". In particular, there would need to be some stability in terms of governance. Which the end of that video actually points to quite a success story in terms of reaching that, especially illuminating how stagnation != stability, yet that can be accounted for and dealt with by lawmakers if they so choose.
The graphic was to forestall an objection as to why "bUt MuH gOvErNmEnT" is non-functional: it is non-functional b/c it was literally designed to be that way. Two examples that readily spring to mind are how the post office used to deliver mail in 3 days time, while now it can be weeks if your letter ever arrives at the destination at all, and how horrific taxes are to have to be filled out and filed - despite how the government mostly seems to know how much you owe regardless - due to heavy lobbying by the tax preparation software industry.
