What they are doing to people are criminal.

All the criminals have become politicians , that's the problem . Here so many journalists gets threat calls ( I am sure it is the same over there in US too ) that many fear to talk against them . I literally give 0 crap when dealing with government , last month I complained to the higher authority about lack of information regarding a particular document and I had to travel back and forth 13 times to get it . Once I complained , I got my document next day .

In the US, the media is in bed with the agenda.

And I think you meant to say all politicians are criminals. There are many criminals out there who aren't politicians. LOL

We also have the problem with bureaucrats. These people are miserable, arrogant, and the system protects them.

Same here , all the major news channels are affiliated to one of the other major political party .

all politicians are criminals.

Oh yeah right , that's what I wanted to say .

We also have the problem with bureaucrats.

Here it is a 50/50 situation , certain bureaucrats are very good , honest and really want to work for the people and also they go face to face against the government but the other half are as you said arrogant .

Even if they are good, they are a hindrance. That is what happens with government, it is the most inefficient model there is.

Yet we have to put up with it for so many areas of our lives.

That's true , that's why I always support grass-level democracy . Here we have something called as panchayat - it is village level democracy , we elect member among ourselves and since everyone knows everyone we hold them accountable if they don't do a good job for our village .

But this doesn't happen everywhere because of town administrators who actually have more powers than village head.

It seems the higher ups always have more power and influence.

This is why we see these disconnected representatives that dont care about what is happening. Just keep winning elections is all they care about.

Exactly , I really believe many problems that we are facing ( in this village ) can be solved if powers are transferred to village head ( he is elected ) .

And probably all politicians become criminals lol

It's funny, but it's tragic ...

There is so much bureaucracy to try to solve our problems that when it is something we need to do, the authorities do not even want to know about delays ...

It is why we need to break away from the system. Keep developing and growing and the hell with them. Do not even invite them into the virtual world.

Cut them off at the knees to remove their power.

You said everything and I will do it.

Yeah I have seen a very few politicians who have remained honest and worked for the people and guess what most of those politicians are unmarried ;p

I heard about a bill proposed in Canada about cutting the politicians salary to cut down deficit. That politician's bill got rejected by everyone else and last I saw, they were planning to kick him out.

If only these politicians took a cut to their paycheck like their citizens, then they might understand.

Oh this actually happened in India after the COVID 19 . In the first session itself they agreed to not take a months salary but we all knew this is a gimmick played by them to gain sympathy and nothing else .

And the population will just see all of it and will not do anything in the next election ... they will forget everything.

Could it be that the problem lies with their wives for corruption?

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

Yeah , they keep on earning for their family and next generation and seems like nothing is enough for them .

Greed only hurts mankind. Nothing is enough ...

Agree , I am glad I learnt this early in life . I tend to be not greedy with anything other than learning and studying .

I want to study more but regarding wealth , I can be happy with 10$ too , I can manage :)

This is true, the worst is that many people are accommodated with the crumbs, it is that old saying of "bread and circus". I have no doubt that Brazil today is better known for its corruptions than for football, beach and samba as it was known abroad in the past ...

With the latest decisions by the Supreme Court I feel more disgusted in politics ... Next year we will have elections and I am even afraid to know the options.

LOL Elections?

Look at what the United States just did. Does anyone in their right mind trust election results?

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

It is true, they stole the elections there in the face and without any shame ... As we already know ... it is trying to do everything so that in the not too distant future we can manage not to depend on banks, governments and anyone else.
