 @Dragon43ish Makes you wonder how they get in until one scrutinises the so-called democratic processes, which demand a vote every few yrs to deal with a plethora of hopes and societal issues. They have to engineer the voting system, or corrupt and rig it, to enter office, proving populism does not work, neither does democracy. So long as a big enough no are doing alright from the system, they buy into it, and perpetuate that system with their majority votes, until things are extremely bad for the majority. Then, you may get a revolution, but usually led by a fanatic, or despot, who equally has little interest in other people's lives. Society has lost its heart, so it is natural that any systems and policies will reflect the many problems and woes that are prevalent in local and international communities. We need a different mindset, but this won't happen with the current leadership in charge-so everything must now collapse!

 @bh2o Dysfunctionality rules the world, which has become an elitist master-slave environment, full of inequality and inequity, Those in power are there to exercise the power they lusted for, in their self-entitled arrogance (as you rightly said), and so others have the right to suffer at their expense. Extraordinary how the rich are becoming so much richer every second, as infrastructures in Western countries collapse, with an increasing no of people out on the street, suffering from mental breakdowns, abusive violence, and dangerous drug addictions. The models we used to structure our governance were never for the 'whole' of the nations, and so were bound to increase the fractures that already existed within it. This has created divisions within each neighbourhood, town, city, country, and the globe; and will be the cause of the West vs East World War that is almost on our doorstep, for the have nots wish to topple the haves, on all strata and levels of every society-as they feel the system is unjust, and it is!!! It is elitist, and based upon greed, gluttony, and lust for power, fame, and attention, and the need to be served, rather than the need to serve. Of course some people have to serve their paymasters to survive, but it is not a loving relationship, or rarely, which is based upon a balanced essence of give and take, but a servile one, which says to the poor worker, you need me and the work that I offer you, or you would be screwed. There is more to it than that, but this is just a glimpse of the modern day woes of casino capitalism.
