These are all things that you have stated above that have crept in slowly over time . I have pondered about it and have come to one remedy .
We elect people who make these Laws and Regulations . We do so blindly . We do not look at what the individual can do for us but who's banner he flies . If we would only elect the right person not only for the job but the time we would be alot further along.
It reminds me of Churchill , he was the right man for the time . Grant was another . I could go on and on , but my point is that these men had flaws and many flaws . But they executed their duties perfectly for the time that they were in . We need to get back to what can you do for us instead of the political BS that we have now . But until the people pull their head out of their rear defilade things will not change . As a groupe we allowed these things to occur
If you look at the Witness's here on Steemit you will see the same thing . some of them should not be in the top 50 . They are there because people voted for them out of greed instead of what they have to offer the platform
LOL this is the longest reply I have ever made . I am glad you are here on Steemit . You can make a difference . The platform is changing , but slowly . You have picked a great one to follow :)
