Hi Dang,
I appreciate the desire for polite conversation. How though, maintain a veneer of curiosity when discussing the fact that people are freezing to death in their homes due to the actions/inaction of a specific, corrupt[0] group of individuals?
The only way I can imagine being able to do so, is to actively erase their role in the situation. I'd argue that to be much more harmful than a lack of curiosity.
Perhaps the answer is that HN isn't a suitable forum for such a topic. Although, I think the discussion around who's responsible for the current situation and their motivations is both curious and valuable.
For what it's worth, I entirely concur with GP's statement. The people responsible for this will likely escape punishment and continue impoverishing the nation for their own gain.
