_______________________ are understaffed, and now they are supposed to take care of addicts.
Insert: Cops, Teachers, Fire Fighters, Paramedics, Nurses, Social Workers, Public Defenders, et al. Every one of those things are understaffed and all have myriad (often overlapping) problems that they have to deal with WELL outside their intended purviews. It's almost like we don't have enough public funding for adequate staff for any of these positions, nor do we have social programs adequate to deal with half this shit because they've all been cut and removed.
I've gotta be honest. Librarians are pretty fucking low on my list of folks being infringed upon and being given more responsibility than their initial purview, because this is the first time they've had to deal with shit. Teachers are now Teachers, Parents, Bodyguards/Security Officers, etc. Cops are now Cops, Social Workers, and living in a corrupt system. Need I go on? Shit, Librarians haven't really been shat upon at all. I guess it's their turn.
If she's not comfortable, she can let them die, or she can flee the profession to find better pay and less thankless jobs like a host of <checks notes> career Teachers, Cops, Fire Fighters, Paramedics, Nurses, Social Workers, etc.
