It's looking like we are going to have to wait at least 8 before making progress on transparency in the US.

- grzm 10y agoI'm trying to figure out a way to address your comment in a constructive way. Does "wait at least 8" imply doing nothing now? That's how I read your comment, so please correct me if I'm wrong. I don't think there's a quick and easy solution. Everything's not going to be changed overnight--even if we all agreed on what the final state should look like. I'd like to think we can figure out ways to move forward in the direction we generally want to go, knowing that it'll take a while to get there. I do think only waiting is going to make things worse, harder to change as time goes by and the current situation becomes even more entrenched. There are multiple projects here, too. One is to increase transparency. Another is to identify common goals that have support across the divides we currently see. I'm sure there are others. Identifying common goals and building support is something I don't think we need to wait for. I apologize if I've put words in your mouth. Please correct me if I have. Edit: Added thoughts on actions to start now.
