In one corner of the parking garage near my office, there’s no reception for a car’s satellite radio.

This is clearly broken, but it’s also not a problem. Certainly not a problem worth anyone’s attention when there are so many other problems to be addressed.

Problems, by definition, can be fixed. But they might not be worth the focus and effort.

Letting these go is important, because it frees us up to work on the things that most people don’t think are problems that are worth fixing.
