The conclusion is that, for the most part, politicians prefer that the choice is out of their hands. Hand the tough decisions to economists crunching numbers, or corporations that can tell you what is the right level of environmental protection. It has become a farce.
That is the nature of man. To live for oneself at the expense of others. This is not those that are close to you, but the billions that you will have no connection to in the course of your life. If a problem can be handed off, then hand it of and continue living the way you want to. Confrontation without absolute superiority over the opponent, or mastery of the issue, is the greatest fear of most people. It is also a problem that has plagued me.
This is not that I am afraid of it. I just want to understand every aspect of every system, yet that is well beyond my reach. But broad swathes of knowledge do little to actually solve problems. It is necessary to specialize. Politicians specialize in making people believe they will do things, though are rarely called out on it.
The new status quo is a path to oblivion.
