I think this is entirely the wrong way to think about this. While better elected representatives and officials would always be a nice thing, what we need is to ensure that we design systems around them that mitigate their corruption and double standards. We were even (collectively, across humanity) doing better and better at that until not that long ago.
- bsenftner 9mo agoWe need regulations on the politicians because, clearly, their "public good use" far exceeds their contribution back.
- PaulDavisThe1st 9mo agoI didn't really mean "regulations" but more a political (and civic) system in which a given individual's corruption etc. gets caught quickly and/or there are too many disincentives for them to to do much based on it.
