Indeed we do.<p>What is worth what?<p>That&#x27;s the question put before us.  That we have it, and a meaningful, plausible, non violent answer is just.  Not easy, mind you.  And the ones who benefit are powerful and seek to advance that power too.<p>We let them get there.  We are going to have to value a remedy enough to check that, or we get what we get.<p>Edit:  And to put a bit sharper point on that, look at how people regard politics.  Most of us, and this is my anecdotal experience talking, just don&#x27;t have time for it.<p>Why not?<p>Scenarios like this are direct artifact of a disinterested populace.<p>If more of us put just a few percent of our free time into basic political action, we could very quickly remedy many things.<p>What is worth what?  Seems that entertainment, play, hobbies, etc... are worth more than a better state of governance is.  Even more intriguing is the impact people under 30 can actually have!  Not only do they have the time, but they stand to benefit in their lives the most!  They quite simply will be living in improved times.<p>The most active voters are elderly people, who are thinking of a future they are not likely to see.<p>How fucked up is that?
