- WalterBright 6y agoUnder a democracy, allocation of resources is always going to be driven by politics. Whether it aligns with facts, logic, greatest good, or science is purely arbitrary.
- avmich 6y agoNot quite. "Driven by politics" doesn't mean that significant deviations from rational management shouldn't cause criticism, attempts - successful or not - to do things around federals and some formal complaints (lawsuits). The latter is a democratic way not to abuse the political driver.
- WalterBright 6y agoIt being political doesn't mean you can't criticize it. Get enough people to agree with you, and you can get change. But that's politics - not reason, logic, or science.
