I share the fact, that many are unfit and something is wrong. But I would say it is politicians, who are unable to prohibit high sugar baverage in schools.

The inability to just ban health threats. Since the market is obviously not solving it, rules have to.

Government are just doing the bidding of corporations at this point; they have more incentive to support corporations through lobbying than the people they are supposedly representing.

I think there need to be more transparency about politicians income. Every dollar needs to be publicly declared, where it is coming from. And if it is not clear it should go in the taxes directly.

I like the idea of zero lobbying, hard terms limits and regulations to prevent any collusion for anyone working anywhere near government. It's a total fantasy though.

It is important to keep up utopia. I just recently heard a great talk of a european politician. There he asks the crowd:

Who buys a ticket to enter the train?

Who would still buy the ticket if you are sure today there is no one controling anyone for tickets with a 100% certainty?

This second train is a democracy without transparency. Maby there would still be narcist in the politics when there is transparency. But at least the voters have the full data for what they are voting for.
