"The solution must be legislative, so there must be public interest…. There isn't the interest…"

Sometimes I despair. I recall when doing Pol. Sc. decades ago Plato's criticisms of democracy and the more I observe its dysfunctional aspects the more I agree with him. Same with Churchill's sentiments.

As they day, "God helps those who help themselves", if the electorate isn't interested and or cannot understand the problems then dysfunction will continue and bad actors will have a field day.

I'm out of my depth here, I speculate about why the electorate isn't interested in helping itself but that's more a job for sociologists and psychologists, and I'm neither.

Ah well….
