Politicians "accumulate power by promising to fix problems, often worsen them through intervention, then point to the resulting damage as proof they need still more power."

 

"The greatest stimulus package imaginable might simply be telling 99% of politicians: No. Fuck off. 

    "Stop treating every problem as an invitation for political management and every politician promising a solution as a saviour. 

    "They accumulate power by promising to fix problems, often worsen them through intervention, then point to the resulting damage as proof they need still more power. 

    "Maybe civilisation needs less faith in political promises and a lot more willingness to say no."
