Fundamentally speaking, government decisions are based on the individual egocentric needs of each member, not the needs of the population at large. This is why you can't trust governments to do the good thing: to make sure they do good you must coerce them as you would a private company.
- acdha 2y agoI’m not sure what connection that has to the topic - it sound tautological to say that good oversight will lead to better outcomes than poor oversight.

This includes government officials. Your views will certainly collide with a politician's views on what's "good oversight".
