it may take some time, but there is an untangling in effect.
it might not be possible to fully separate the two. but, the larger ecosystem dynamics are inevitably shifting, such that governmental power/control may decrease, and decision-making power is more equally distributed such that resource allocation becomes far more effective and there becomes a far greater degree of accountability to taxpayers.
of course, this is all a long-term game.
Thanks for the intelligent discourse. Wow, that's really refreshing.
your welcome. happy to hear. :-)
