"When the rights of the people denied, the people rightly resist. If the concerns are not acknowledged then peace and security are inevitably threatened." - The U.S. ambassador to the U.N.

All we did so far is just ignoring the problem really. Fire is still smoldering under the ashes, and I hope we don't ignore this for the next 4 years.

The only way out of this mess is really first to give proper and clear answer to those that are concerned instead of blocking them. And meanwhile, also hold those resourceful politicians that are making this mess with their populist tactics accountable for their false claims and their actions in the court.

Maybe we should start running government like a company. You can't survive as a bad manager for a long time. But, bad politicians can stay in politics for their entire life while their mistakes costs much more than a manager.

Companies go bankrupt all the time, in fact, they tend to always do that. You're promoting survivorship bias.

Also, establishing policies are nothing like business, as incentives are orthogonal.
