When a society is run by people who care only for their own small wealthy in-group and nothing for the common good all kinds of incompetence is bound to ensue.

When a society is run by people who care only for their own small wealthy in-group and nothing for the common good all kinds of incompetence is bound to ensue. It doesn't take a tin foil hat to see how that has happened to America.
- robocat 4y ago> When a society is run by people I tend to find that idea is adjacent to conspiracy thinking. If society is being “run” by anybody then either (a) they could do a much better job of it for themselves, or (b) they are very good at hiding. “Powerful” people seem to often have the same problems as the rest of us: they seem to be on the receiving end of systemic issues they don’t understand as much as any of us, they often work long hours, they still get tragic family issues and chronic health issues.

Yes the wealthy mega-donors in American politics could absolutely do better by American workers than they are. How do these people being old and having health problems excuse their treatment of American workers?
- cratermoon 4y agoTrue, but not worthy of conspiracy-theory levels of speculation.
