Anything run by any human will become corrupt. Even if you took programs out of political control, and put it in the hand of the citizen, the citizens would corrupt it due to greed.
Basically, anything humans touch will lean towards greed. There is no solution for this. Self-preservation is too strong and tribalism is too strong--we will always look out for ourselves/family/close friends first.
I dont have a solution. The only solution I have for myself to reduce my anxiety is confront reality as best as I can and keep pushing forward.
That is very true. Good points.
I would say that it is easier to root out a corrupt private enterprise, like breaking up a monopoly or enforcing fair trade practices and regulations. As opposed to fixing a government run enterprise that has become bloated and wasteful and corrupt. So, in general, I favor the private enterprise (there are always exceptions)
