Hirschman gave us three options when an institution declines. Voice, exit, loyalty. Speak up, leave, or stay quiet. Most people cycle between voice and loyalty their whole lives. They speak up. They are ignored. They stay. They speak up again. The exit option exists but they do not take it seriously because they have been inside so long they have started to believe the walls are load-bearing. They are not. The door opens from the inside.
