I totally agree knowledge is important. But it takes a lot of digging to find out what the government is/has been doing “for our benefit”, and even when we dig and find questionable research/funding, I wouldn’t really know how to ensure the governments power is controlled. They seem completely “out of control”. 😵💫

Most of us are satisfied judging government quality by results. Beyond that, we can ask. The results have been horrible for pandemic control, which is now degrading the economy. So people are starting to ask, and finding stonewalling, either heavily redacted documents or egregious foot dragging -- serious signs of government incompetence, at best, or more likely corruption. It's inlikely we can force the most powerful government in the history of the world to do anything they don't want to, so we'll need to replace them, hopefully with managers with more integrity. Otherwise we'll have to do it again. Next opportunity on November.
