The big problem is we all think someone else will solve this issue. All the investigations, congress, and even the public... they did nothing.
Run for office. Start small. Kick them out of the school boards follow their playbook and work bottom up.
This is the way.
That is certainly a possible solution. However I also think a lot of folks simply don't have the time to commit in addition to their regular jobs and responsibilities. Guess that's how we wound up with so wealthy people in politics... they got all that free time ⏰ (and they think they know what's best for everyone else too, perhaps? 🙃)
