Okay but when you only listen to people on the teat if 3 big companies you’re not getting expertise.
Legislators don’t need to be experts, but they’re effectively illiterate here.
Absolutely agree. The corruption is the problem, but is that an age based thing?
Not inherently, no. But in practice, absolutely. Especially when you consider that people who have been in power for a long time almost certainly have better/deeper connections/corruptions than someone who just got elected into their first term
