I don't know you but I'd say no one you know is a committed public steward. However plenty of those exist outside of your bubble.

- JumpCrisscross 4y ago> no one you know is a committed public steward I have friends who ran for and won local and federal offices. I specifically called out state because it min-maxes the power-honor trade-off. That said, I’ll stand by my broader point. Normalised derision has made public service more taxing than it ever was. This is true globally, and has been called out by high-profile resignations in e.g. New Zealand and Scotland.
