The system can't get right because it is fundamentally corrupt. It was carefully designed for this very purpose from the beginning. Too many smart and intelligent people are in charge for the system to get this fucked up by accident.
Just like mediocre software architectures, sometimes a full rewrite is the only way to go. No amount of refactoring will cleanse a self-corrupting system.
Just like a Windows installation after a while, nothing will help but a fresh reinstall with a blank slate.
However, it is the nature of our institutions to try and stay alive, even when they are outdated ideas, have been proven inneffective time and time again. Above all, they want to survive, even if the cost for this is a massively decreased quality of life for virtually everyone not holding the reins.

- jeremiep 13y agoThe NSA alone should be more than enough. Extremely smart people are working there. I can't think of a bigger insult to the people than what they did.
- brasky 13y agoMost people dont realize the fact that every government collapses eventually. Every single one. You would think that gee maybe something is inherently wrong with the concept after so much epic fail.
- jeremiep 13y agoComputing made this evident, decentralized systems are almost always superior to centralized ones. The current government hierarchy is littered with single points of failures. I never believed the action of voting to be relevant in any way whatsoever. This is the biggest illusion of power to the people. It's like having a faulty production system filling its error log where you can only blindly deploy a fix every four years and hope things get better. All while accumulating user complaints and deferring your customer service offshore.
