You are drastically underestimating how incompetent this government is compared to all others that preceded it and how deep the loss of expertise hits. You do not recover from lost bureaucratic competence for decades.
- lrvick 1y agoEroded public trust in government is however a good thing. Our biggest mistake as a supposedly free country was trusting centralized entities to forever act in accordance with the will of the majority. As a society we need to stop asking for permission to fix potholes. Just go fix them and dare them to fine you for it which would be catnip for journalists to call more attention to the dysfunctional government. NASA should crowdfund the weather satellites, with tax deductible donations, like right now. I would support them staying in the sky.
