The repair gap
The distance between visible public need and available private wealth — and why making it concrete matters.
Public need is usually discussed in the abstract: a shortfall, a backlog, a service "under pressure". Abstraction makes the gap easy to ignore.
TrickleDownHope makes the gap concrete by costing it. A flood defence, a clinic's power supply, a reopened youth centre — each becomes a specific number that someone, somewhere, could fund today.
Costing a need turns a moral argument into a fundable line item.
The point is not to flatter wealth for stepping in. It is to show, transparently, that the resources to repair real harm already exist — and that leaving the gap open is a choice.
