When Government Works, It's Boring...

Ladies, Gentlemen, any and all others...  Government, when it works well, is incredibly boring.  That's why we have Inspectors General, DOJ, FTC, SEC, CFPB, etc...  They watch and report on what our government is doing; if everybody picks their favorite agency, and keeps up to date on it, we the people can keep government in line.

Remember, we the people (a.k.a., voters) are ultimately responsible for keeping our government working for us.  Recently, too many of us dropped the ball and let an oligarchy, assisted by gullible MAGAt voters, install their favorite convicted criminal, pathological liar back into the oval office (FA).  Those, who had been warned, are FO the hard way; our democratic republic has been violated/lost.  Folks who caused/allowed this to happen are discovering, the hard way, that this has unpleasant repercussions for almost everybody.     

The reason that some things must be done by government is because social structure that works best as is possible for as close to everybody is not done for profit; not what businesses do.  The business of business is profit, the occupation of government is working together to make a place for all to prosper while creating and leaving a better world for the next generation.
